| Low Maintenance |
- Trees which don't drop a lot of berries or limbs around
parking and don't grow in way of trucks.
- Shrubs which don't overgrow window and sidewalks.
- Access to water spigots for ease of watering.
- Trees and shrubs, etc. not disease and insect prone and are all hardy.
- Note: Low maintenance does not mean no
maintenance. Consult maintenance packet for periodic maintenance
requirements.
