Hi Ane
Thanks for visiting Plantbook.
It sounds like your conditions may not be suited for either Buddleja saligna or Rhamnus prinoides.
You could consider:
– Cassinopsis ilicifolia (Lemon thorn)
– Duvernoia adhatoides (Pistol bush)
– Diospyros whyteana (Bladdernut)
Flourish!

Your conditions and spal
Hi There!
I was hoping to get your professional opinion on an idea I have.
I am looking for a tree/shrub that can be planted as a privacy screen and windbreaker in my garden.
The False Olive (Buddleja Saligna) is an obvious first choice, but I was wondering if the Dogwood would make a good alternative (the yellow flowers and berries could add interest).
Does it have an aggressive root system? Will it work if planted plus minus 1m from the boundary wall?
How quickly does it grow and what is the maximum height I can expect.
p.s. the area in question is next to and underneath a BIG Acacia. So winter sun and summer shade.
Your input is greatly appreciated?
Thank you
Ane
