I'm a new homeowner that has a backyard that backs up to the parking lot of an apartment complex and they have just decided to install a security light that shines bright and ugly so I wanted to plant something to block the view.

My fence is 5' tall so I would love to plant a camelia tree but I'm not sure that there's enough space/light for the tree to survive.

Here's the pics, what do you all think?

daytime view (hubby decided it would be great to chop down the branches and revealed even more of the ugly apartment complex:(

Bad light at night(it's worse than it looks here):

camelia tree (you probably know what it looks like though:)

If it's not suitable, I'm also thinking planting a jasmine on a vine on one of those trellis things.

Thanks for any ideas you might have!
