Bamboo grows very quickly, with some varieties growing 10 feet a year. This rapid growth makes bamboo an excellent choice when you want a natural fence and you want it quickly. Bamboo can be tricky, however, and you need to be careful what bamboo variety you plant and how. There are many invasive species of bamboo that are best avoided. Running bamboo varieties, too, can cause problems and are likely to end up in places you and your neighbors won't appreciate.
Choose Your Type
The first step to a bamboo fence is choosing what type of bamboo you'll be planting. Bamboo plants are categorized as clumping or running. As the name suggests, clumping bamboo grows in thick patches, or clumps, forming a dense and bushy barrier. A clump is usually three to 10 feet around, depending on the bamboo variety. Clumping bamboo stays where you plant it, so you'll need more plants to create a barrier fence. Running bamboo quickly spreads itself, allowing you to grow a fence using fewer plants. Be aware, however, that running bamboo spreads itself indiscriminately. You'll need to take some extra steps during plating to keep it contained. If you don't, you and your neighbors will be battling unwanted shoots forever.

Once you've decided on a clumping or running bamboo, take a trip to your local garden center to choose your plants. Bamboo grows naturally on every continent except Antarctica, so you'll have no trouble finding a variety that grows in your climate. If you live in a colder area, consider cold hardy species like red margin ( Phyllostachys rubromarginata) and macon rivercane ( Arundinaria gigantea 'Macon' ). Macon rivercane is also excellent for poorly drained soils, where most bamboos don't do well. Most bamboo prefers at least five hours of sun a day, but umbrella bamboo (Fargesia murielae) is an excellent choice for shady areas. Your local garden center is the best source of information about what types of bamboo will thrive in your area.
Plant Your Bamboo
Unless you've picked a variety that likes wet feet, plant your bamboo in moist, loamy soil. To plant your bamboo, dig a hole that is 1.5 to 2 times the size of
A shade tolerant species such as eastern hemlock, which also has a slow growth rate, must compete with much faster growing, shade intolerant species such as black cherry or white ash. While the cherry and ash grow faster, hemlock has a much longer life span, thus has a good chance of outliving these species. As always, there are exceptions to the general trend. Striped maple is both fast growing and shade tolerant, but is very short lived. Along with the red oak, this species has adapted in order to even the odds for
There are three major zones that the plants live in ; the coastal zone, the arid zone, and the highlands zone. In the coastal zone mangrove trees are very common and have an important role for bird breeding sites. The arid zone is very dry and has adapted to the drought conditions. Some of these plants that have adapted to the drought conditions are the succulent cacti and the leafless shrub, which only grows leaves in the rainy season. The humid zones are lush and green. There are mosses and epiphytes growing on trees for support.
Rainforests and Tundras Rainforests and Tundras are two biomes that have similairities and differences. Rainforests include soft, delicate plants below the canopy and sparse vegetation on the forest floor while tundras have lush vegetation, and mosses that grow in low, damp ground. Plants in the rainforest grow close together, and plants in the tundra more widely spread. There are many differences and similarities of tundras and rainforest such as their importance to humans, characteristics and animals. Rainforests and Tundras have many similarities and differences in their characteristics.
In the successful attempt to unite China and its warring cities and countries as well as bringing making everyone speak the same language, and having everyone under the same rule he set out to protect his people with the technology and advancements if architecture they had to build a wall for his people.. From rammed earth these walls were built and Shi Huangdi forced the people to make this walls. The solution he came up with was to build a wall to separate his people that he valued and the opposing invaders coming over the mountains. Since China and more particularly the people of the Qin Dynasty were backed up by mountains it made them extremely susceptible to invaders since it was impossible to see them coming over the mountains. Shi Huangdi made a promise to his people to unite them and protect them so what he did was make a 5,000 kilometers wall in 200
In Merriam-Webster the definition of fences, “is a barrier intended to present escape or intrusion or to mark a boundary”. Everybody has their reasons for building a fence. For example, to feel safe, keep their love ones close, or just to keep people out of their business. In the play Fences, the character Bono said,” Sometimes it is to keep people in or to keep people out.” In the play Fences there are different characters who have built a fence for their own reason.
Before I introduce this unique plant, I wanted to talk about invasive plants. Golden Bamboo is one of the invasive plants. Some of you know it, but others may not. It is fine, that is why I am here. Invasive plants are harmful to the environment because it has ability to bloom and spreading very quickly, which it will be damaging the

Every wall has its own style, length, material, and purpose. Like the Great Wall of China. "It's 26 feet tall and a staggering 1,200 miles long" (Markon). It is made
Hawaii is the perfect place to grow plants. Plants are commonly grown in backyards. Sugarcane, pineapple, papaya, banana, and mangos are grown in backyards. Cold snacks and desserts are very popular. It would make sense because Hawaii is tropical, and it could be hot on some days.
How do you see a fence? Most people might say a fence is a bunch of planks of wood or metal, nailed or twisted together, and formed to surround an area. After reading Fences by August Wilson, it's not hard to tell why the fence is the title of the story and play. Troy thinks of the fence as something to keep people out. Rose sees the fences as something to protect her family, and to Cory, the fence is a boundary. The fence in Fences is seen differently by all the characters in the story.
Some examples of plants that are optimal for growing in the desert/drier climates may include:

Start thinking about scale. You’ll need to determine the size of a mature plant that will bring the most appeal in the locations you’re thinking of planting. If you want to plant a bed along the front of your house and there’s a window there, you wouldn’t want tall plants that will block the window.
