I'm looking to establish a privacy screen about 8 feet wide and 6 to 12 feet high. See photos...it's in the spot where the trellis is located (which I can easily remove); to the left and right of the path. Next to the trellis is a large established forsythia. To right of path, not visible but adjacent to any privacy plantings is a real nice oakleaf hydrangea.

I'm having doubts on the trellis vine idea (not even sure if trellis is truly sturdy enough). I don't know anything about bamboo, but might it work for this space? I live in Boston zone 6. Area is part shade and I'm obviously looking for evergreen,

Thanks, Vlad

p.s. Was also hoping to add some color to those planting beds. Would bamboo be compatible with other plants....or would planting them in some colorful pots work? (Or is planting them in the soil preferred?)
