Plants used for screening.

Tropical Screening plants are the quickest way to buy back your privacy. A neighbour’s window, a shed, a road — tropical foliage hides it faster than a fence, and looks far better doing it.

The plants here grow tall and dense without turning into a problem. so they stay where you put them.

Think about height before you plant. Some of these top out at two metres and suit a courtyard. Others reach well over four, which is what you want along a boundary or road frontage.

We grow our tropical screening plants in the Wet Tropics on the Cassowary Coast, so they arrive vigorous and establish quickly. Most will give you useful cover within a season or two.
