Help picking plants for building with
    #27033883 - 11/11/20 05:41 PM (3 years, 2 months ago)

For years I've been saying we need to be building with live trees instead of dead ones.

Next year is the year I start planting saplings.

I'm looking for ideas of plants that survive a hardiness zone 7 that grow long, fast, and abundant, I want it to be a nice wind block so it'll have to be woven.

very interesting idea, but would take many years to get any good results.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_shaping

Weeping Fig (Ficus benjamina).. is not cold hardy, but there are other cold hardy ficus/fig trees
just guessing here..

bamboo?
rose bush
willow trees
pine trees

I might plant a couple willows for corners, there's a 20ft tall grouping of this tree in my back yard that wasn't there 2 years ago, it produces thin runners like a mofo that take a bit to thicken so I'm thinking it'll make a great plaited pleach for walls

cool good luck!  if you post a picture, the trees could probably be identified.
thanks for this thread got me thinking i'll try growing sicamore tunnel trees, living fences, or something.

crape myrtle would be another option.. they grow pretty fast, i noticed the branches naturally graft together,
this was the only example i could find of someone trying crape myrtle...


found on etsy these willow cuttings.. advertising you can grow them into a small structures..

A pressure graft like you would find in nature is called pleaching
