We are planning to put in an Oak-tree lined driveway. The drive itself is 37m long up hill. The drive is south facing and is fairly exposed to both wind and distant sea spray. Could you please recommend suitable Oak species with appropriate spacing? Is it better to opt for younger trees or semi-mature? i was thinking of then planting carpet roses along the bank? Would these survive? Also, could you recommend suitable plants to disguise the fence on the left (bamboos perhaps?)
