Dear All,
My E-mail is still a bit of a mess. We just bought a new computer and
haven't worked all the bugs out yet. So I did not see the original posting
about 'Evergreen hedges'. I am not without an opinion though, which should
come as no surprise. Toyon is a good idea. I would like to expand on that
and to suggest Coffee-berry, Rhamnus california again for use as a hedge.
Atriplex lentiformis, Quail Bush works really well too.
