Re: Plants for home security


Hi, I can't help with the evergreen bit, but have you considered rosa
rugosa as a barrier? Not only is it the spikiest, most viciously jaggy
plant I have ever had the misfortune of trying to prune, but it's really
fast growing, produces georgeous flowers and is very wildlife-friendly,
as the bees love it and the birds eat from the hips all winter.

I have a hawthorn tree at the front of the house and the roots are
pretty thick and sturdy, if not that profuse. I'm not sure about
hedges. Good luck!

Bob
