of the house? I would like to put up an arbor in front of the window and grow wisteria or jasmine over it. My husband is talking about a tree, but the house next door is only 15 feet away. What type of tree would be shady, but not take over the area. We had a bamboo shade there once, but the weather beat it up and it wan’t very attractive. This is the front yard. I live in 80 – 100+ degree weather in the summer and this window is a corner window of the computer/guest bedroom.
Plant a burkwood viburnum. Be sure to plant it a few feet away from the wall, and you will have to prune it. It can take the heat and it is quite dense. The flowers smell lovely.
If you want to grow Wisteria over an Arbor–make sure it is real strudy, cause the vines get really heavy, but I love the Idea
Wisteria are so beautiful.
Maybe get that “window tint” on that window. I am sure that would help a lot. Plus grow a shrub or tree, whatever you and hubby can agree with.
I wuv u.!!
