My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What tree/shrub will fit this requirements?

7 years ago

Hello,


What tree/shrub will fit in following requrements:

1. Max heights 10'

2. Evergreen

3. Draught tolerant

4. Around 6 hours of direct sunlight


Oleandrs is good example but it maxes at 6'. What other choices to do I have? I need to plan some tree to block sunlight at afternoon hours and hence the requirements. House is in Dallas, TX



Thanks,

Greg
