Hey folks,
just saw some sugar cane in a field here. Thought it was a warm climate thing????
Anyway, I need a screen in a couple places and don't want to fool with planting/maintaining shrubs. Have a couple paddocks outside town but right on a road. People walk by and, if they see a pile or two of sh!t because I haven't got off work to clean up, call the treehuggers and report me. never an issue when someone shows up (usually don't anymore, but it always ends up in the newspaper. What could I plant that grows like cane and won't take over the area?

Hey Dave,

I think you have a similar climate as us here in PA. Consider Forsythia or Bamboo. Both require a little annual pruning or they will just take over an area, but don't have to do anything too careful. Pretty hardy and tough to see through during the summer.

Hey Kirk,
How's life? I'll look into one or both. Like to have something fast growing. Also need it to be there and provide a screen in winter.

Can't complain too much. Had a couple of real slow months regarding work (not necessarily unusual for the winter), but things seem to be picking up now.

Don't know much about the bamboo personally, but we have some Forsythia and it looses its leaves for the winter, but still provides a pretty good visual barrier (lots of little branches.) Once established I bet it would grow about 12-18" a year. Like most shrub hedge type plants the more you prune it the thicker it will get, but I kind of like it left unkempt so to speak. Ours are pretty spectacular during the Spring when they are flowering.
