Sunita, I suppose the wall might look nice a third of the year when you get the rains, but I suppose dust could also become mud with a little moisture applied!

Some do, but most dont. I really like that fence but I dont think anything like that mosaic-work would work here ... too much dust. I wish our public spaces in Mumbai were kept half as nicely.

It would be nice if everyone put a little more thought into their fences. Jan Always Growing That certainly is a nice fence. It would be nice if everyone put a little more thought into their fences.

I have some of the basic J. patens that is surprisingly tolerant of not being watered. There are taller versions that would work nicely in this neighbor's space. Maybe a little more water, but the plants are gorgeous. I like the texture of the ephedra--a little more moundy, but still maybe transparent enough to be able to see the wall behind it. Another native (if you consider Baja part of California and I do) is the baja bush snapdragon, Galvezia juncea, which is more stem than leaf, and really architectural--and requires less water than the rushes.

Native Juncus or Ephedra (joint fir, a favorite of mine for combined vertical-moundy quality) could be good too...those horsetails are amazing plants, but unless you want lots of them everywhere, they really do need containing. Is it a lack of demonstration planting in nurseries, a lack of information on plant labels? You always read about the importance of choosing a tree for it's mature size.
