And the songbirds and other birds they apparently couldn't do without (blackbirds, starlings etc)

All rather ironic really. Anyone see the Catalyst episode on the origin of the world's songbirds and parrots?

DNA and fossil evidence have now proved that the earliest songbirds and parrots originated....in Australia. Then they spread around the world and of course evolved over time.

Yes I was meaning a real rubber tree.

Has to be more flexible than a gum

And not as brittle

What about garden beds? it would look really pretty and then there'd be nothing to stop you from careening into the oncoming traffic If you were speeding, not paying attention, texting, phone taking and being a bit drunk.

Too many posts to read them all.

My answer.

The trees don't do it, they just stand there

Trees are the innocent victims.

The road always has a few feet to a few metres to any tree, usually a fence as well.

Teach the kids(?) to drive better.

The tree's DON'T JUMP out to hit cars!

Hedges are nice but they have two sides and neighbours can sometimes be difficult.

If you plant right on the boundary line, the hedge will spread on to your neighbours patch by the thickness of the hedge.

If you plant a little way on "your" side you've effectively given your neighbour a bit of your land.

It may not seem much, but in the future you don't know what possible trouble you're storing up.

At one time in the UK, boundary disputes were one of the best earners for lawyer.

It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
