Is bamboo bird habitat? - inner Sydney

[Chris Ross <>]

Chris,

I agree about the bamboo, it's roots will be out the drain holes 
looking to take over the world in no time.  I would stay away from 
wattles, they can get very leggy if not tip pruned, unless you go to a 
specialised nursery and find some of the low growing varieties.. 
Bottlebrushes are fairly bullet proof and if you want good screening 
some of the dwarf lily-pillies are hard to go past, they need  bit 
more water but can easily be trained into a hedge.  Probably be good 
to select some of the lower growing bottlebrushes and tea trees if you 
went that way, some varities can get very large.  All will provide 
cover and insect food.
regards,

Chris Ross
