Today someone called me from the Painted Cave area asking about creating screening from his neighbors. He wanted to know what to plant that wouldn't be a fire hazard, but would be fairly fast growing and provide decent screening. After some discussion and research I settled on fruit trees as his best option. Citrus, Pineapple Guava, Strawberry Guava and if possible, Avocado are great screening material that also create great firebreaks. There are other food-producing plants that create good screening Pomegranate, Persimmon, Plum are a few more suggestions.
If you are looking for firebreak and screening, why not plant edibles?
That is what I suggest.
