A word of caution from eFIG

"The biggest cause of failure in new planting schemes is using a building as a test ground for the tolerance of a species to live at the limits of its recommended criteria. Designers often feel under pressure to create something different."

The best plant for your building is one that will live and grow happily within the environmental considerations available. A healthy growing plant will always reflect well on those involved with the specification and installation.
