Actually, I just remembered a long time ago my friend had a California fan palm in his back yard, and it was grown locally from seed. I believe it was in the ground for quiet a few years and it was well established. It pulled through the winters unprotected, but his neighbor hood "code" made him cut it down because it still had the beard on it and even when pruned they still did not like it, he was not so happy about that. But I think I will be going with the California fan palm. Our winters are dry and it only gets really cold here for about 2 weeks until it starts to warm up. I'll give it a try!

Love your angel! Not in your zone but Tiffany is one of my best roses. A very good bloomer and grower and, although it doesn't matter for you, but a very winter hardy rose too! She does black spot some for me but keeps on blooming anyway. I probably don't get as hot as you but she holds up very well here when it gets up into the 90s. She doesn't fade or crisp either.

this link: https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/invasives/aquaticplants/purpleloosestrife/index.html says this: Purple loosestrife (Lythrum salicaria, L. virgatum and any combination thereof) is listed as a MDA Prohibited Noxious Weed (Control List) (link is external) and a prohibited invasive species in Minnesota, which means it is unlawful (a misdemeanor) to possess, import, purchase, transport or introduce this species except under a permit for disposal, control, research or education in addition it says this: Purple loosestrife is native to Europe and Asia. The species was unintentionally introduced to the United States’ Great Lakes through contaminated solid cargo ship ballast as well as through the deliberate importation of seeds. The first discovery in the United States was in Lake Ontario in 1869. Purple loosestrife was sold and planted for decades as a decorative ornamental plant. However, due to its negative impacts on native plants and its ability to escape from cultivation, purple loosestrife is illegal to sell in most states and many other interesting things ... you tell us your zone.. which is rather useless... a big city name is usually more helpful.. find out if this is noxious in the state you are in ... or tell us and maybe one of us could google it for you ken

I did a quick rearch: The textlies get too tall The golden is invasive The karr not drought hardy Why bamboo? It can be lovely but it can look rangey and thin with a leaves that turn brown and fall everywhere all year. Not really good for privacy or wind screen IMO. 200 feet would be a lot of bamboo so consider a just few nice specimens mixed in with your other bushes. There are lots of nice plants that grow in the Bay Area. You don't explain or show any photos of why you need to plant anything...is this for decorative or functional purposes? The only bamboo I've planted I got at Coscto and it was called Pandaboo. It's lush and about 6 feet when mature. It's on a drip system and does not spread. Be sure about that!
