Trying to design a privacy screen

10 years ago

I live on Long Island (cold zone 7) and am wanting to plant a privacy screen in a partially wooded area to block a view of the neighbor's house. All the existing trees are hardwoods. I have some black walnut scattered throughout and lots of deer. One face will get some sun, but there is definitely not full sun. Ideally these would grow quickly. I am considering holly opaque, bracken's brown magnolia, cryptomeria (sekkan sugi or possibly angelica, green giant arborvitae (although these seem +/- with deer), norway spruce, chamaecyparis psifera boulevard (is this too slow growing?) or cedars atlantic fastigiata. I already have one Colorado blue spruce from a couple xmas' ago :)


I appreciate advice on what might grow well in partial shade, what mixes well and what can handle deer.


Thanks!
