Trees for screening

20 years ago

Can anyone help me find a tall, dense and narrow screening tree?

There is a new house being built right next to mine (no more that 200cm space between them)that I would like to block the view of with some trees. The building is very close with a high roof and so I have to plant something tall, dense but narrow. I thought Mast trees/ Asok trees, (Polyalthia longifloria) would be the most suitable and they grow well here in Thailand.

However I would like to know if they are stable when at full height? (I beleive they can grow to 60ft) I don't want them crashing down on my neighbour's roof in ten years!

At approximately what rate do they grow? As much as 100cm a year?

If you cut them back will they grow a new crown?

Any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks - and Happy New Year!

Emily
