Protecting Trees From Damage

Vetiver Grass can be used as borders to plantings but they also can supply other benefits. Seen here is a recent application of Vetiver hedges being used to protect a line of Albizia lebbeck pollards from getting hit with a mower deck during errant operation. As the Albizia will be cut back on a yearly/bi-yearly cycle, the shade should not have a negative effect on the hedge. The Vetiver will be cut for mulch and it will be placed in the internal area to reduce competition from the pasture grasses.
