So we have some idiot new neighbors. I'm tired of their shenanigans and would like to plant a hedge line to block their yard from our view. Really they're just forcing a plan that we've been talking about doing for awhile now anyway.
Anyhoo, my biggest problem is I need shrubs that are evergreen, will get about 10' tall, AND can survive part-shade conditions as the property line is shaded by some old oak trees. And I would like to buy them local as I hate buying plants online. Any suggestions for what will survive in part-shade and not get leggy that I can buy in the area? Thanks!
Elaeagnus. Problem with them is that they are fast growing and will need trimming about 2 or 3 times a year. But they do have a wonderful smelling small flower.
lol my husband will literally kill me if I plant privet. He can't stand the smell.
I'll have to take a look at these other ones. I actually wouldn't mind something fast growing as the sooner I can get the view blocked the better in my book!
My other neighbor had the idea of growing bamboo. I don't want to plant something super invasive but can bamboo be grown in containers?
I would avoid bamboo if your neighbors are close enough to be a bother. It means your lot is too small for bamboo.
Now, if you had quite a few acres...

I fear bamboo.
It's an excellent way to drown out a neighbor, though.
