I’m trying to come up with ideas to utilize these 20’ Oleander skeletons, in a way that would maintain a privacy barrier to the neighboring property.
Most advice I’ve gotten entails removal of the huge Oleanders.
Short of doing that, I imagine finding some tree, vine or shrubbish thing that could utilize the already established structure.
There is a lot of Cat’s Claw vine on the property, and I’ll try to propagate some of that, but it is known to be fairly invasive (which is perhaps the goal.)
I’d like to come up with a long-term plan, but really trying to prospect from various angles.

Thanks in advance!

You have not added your location to your profile so not sure what would fit your climate.  Here is an article wit suggestions.20 best flowerig vines  If you can keep them watered Scarlet Runner beans are a good first year start and improve the soil in the process.  Perennial vines like grapes take time to get their roots established but eventually can stand on their own  the oleander wood rots out.
Give consideration to what your neighbor would like if you can not trim both sides.

Oh, I’m currently in Phoenix, AZ.
I really like the scarlet runner... Noticed hyacinth bean on the list, which I’ve had some luck growing. Forgot all about it until now! Will certainly grow more, as it did well in the higher desert.

Thanks Hans!
 
How do they get the deer to cross at the signs? Or to read this tiny ad?
