I mounted the trellis directly to the house, I really like how it turned out:
No idea on the stump for a planter, I'm sure you could google the idea. Probably many people with experience on it. |
There are windows on the wall of the house so that won't work. The spruce trees were planted there to block the windows for privacy, but that's kinda what the blinds inside are for. But it might be nice longer term to have the foliage to block view when the windows are open, but I have central AC now as well. That's where I plan to put the silverberry.
The other I'm still trying to figure out how to do it. It's in a weird corner at an angle facing my walkway so I don't know if I want to go relatively straight up, along a pillar or against the house and I don't know whether to hope that it only goes around 3-4 feet at most, or if it could actually go 8-15 feet up as warned by the seed seller.
Both are not truly required at all for privacy purposes after the trees are gone, but part of the hope is that they have a nice smell that I'd be willing to open my window for on occasion.
Having the plants there longer term would also feel a less weird since the rest of the house has a lot of landscaping.
I guess I'll keep poking around for ideas over the next few weeks. Thanks!
