» SandraReaves - more plants for privacy

Here's a short list of additional plants that are great for privacy screens:
Nellie R. Stevens holly
Cleyera japonica
Pines (several varieties)
Juniper (trees and large shrubs)
Bamboo (invasive; be careful of location)
Dwarf yaupon holly
Boxwood (grows slooooowwwwly)
Yew ("yewsually" wider than it is tall)
Ligustrum (especially waxleaf)
Buddleia (just let it grow tall)
Mock Orange (aka English dogwood)
Winter Honeysuckle

» MelodyMurdoch - Question re: Elaeagnus

In response to more plants for privacy posted by SandraReaves:


Q: Elaeagnus - does it require anything to hold it up? i.e. fence ? I need privacy, but there is no fence along the property dividing line. When we are in our yard, we feel like we're in a fishbowl. I want plants about 6' tall, that grow independent of having to lean on anything.
