Down the end of the front garden, near the red robins, there is a golden cane palm, a fox-tail palm, and the red abutilon which are very close together.
I considered momentarily removing the golden cane, but have decided, for the moment, that it can stay.
I am after a thick barrier near the road, to block both sound and vision on my side, from the traffic. The golden cane will have to be kept in check, but I think a shady section down there will be nice, especially if the gazebo is positioned there, eventually.
