Botany
English term or phrase: drift
Has an almost bamboo-like quality, giving movement to waterside plantings as it sways in the wind – very effective when planted alone en masse, or in *drifts* at the edge of woodland.

Clarification request(s) and response
BrigitteHilgner: 7:55pm Sep 18, 2005: It would help if we knew what plant you are actually writing about! -
Gisela Germann: 8:16pm Sep 18, 2005: ich glaub zwar nicht, - dass es hilft, aber es handelt sich um eine Weide, Salix exigua.
BrigitteHilgner: 6:19am Sep 19, 2005: Das spielt eine Rolle, a) weil somit der Vorschlag "Trift" wohl komplett ausgeschlossen werden kann (bei irgendwelchen Gräsern/Büschen hätte das passen können)und b) weil Anbaumethoden für verschiedene Pflanzen unterschiedlich sind! -
Nicole Schnell: 6:42am Sep 19, 2005: Ah, Brigitte knows! -
