Deciduous Tree Needed

18 years ago

I need a tree or two for a screen between my house and my neighbors. We have a wood fence up so height is more of an issue than width. The tree would need to be 10 to 12 feet tall. Of course it needs to be an evergreen so the neighbors view is blocked all year. I live in NW Arkansas. We are in zone 6 I believe. Suggestions please.

Thanks for your help,

MJ

Any other of the evergreen hollies that grows quickly and tall.

Thuja 'Emerald Green'/'Smaragd'/'Emerald Beauty' (arborvitae). If too tall at maturity, try T,'De Groot's Spire'.

One of the medium- to taller-growing evergreen viburnums.

Pyracantha, firethorn.
