Fast Growing Evergreen Needed
Hi All,
This is my first time to the gardening board, and I have a question. I was hoping you'd be able to recommend a evergreen shrub to plant along a fence, and also on the side of my deck for privacy. I looked at the Leyland Cyprus, but I believe it will get far too big for our area. The area beside our deck is about 18 feet long, and the bed is about 2.5 feet wide. I would ideally like something that is fast growing, and has a low need for pruning.
If it helps, I am in North Carolina. Thanks so much!
Re: Fast Growing Evergreen Needed
Look into Thuja Emergald Green. They get 8-12 feet tall, three feet wide.
They're OK to zone 7.
I have a picture in my bio of two I planted a few years ago againt my garage. They are about 8 feet tall now.
