I have seen 6-8ft maples at Walmart for $30 and that got me thinking.

Where does everyone go for the least expensive shade/privacy trees? The big box stores generally are more expensive than local nurseries it seems.

I don't particularly care what kind of tree it is, just want something that will grow fast and screen a view.

I need to plant 2-3 on the outside of my privacy fence to screen a new home being built.

Thanks for any advice and suggestions!
