looking for recommendations ..

i have recently been given the task of finding plants (trees, shrubs, etc.) that will create a privacy 'hedge' between two yards .. the environment is: in a protected bay, seaside, eastern exposure; morning sun; very damp area of fresh water ..

any ideas are gratefully accepted .. thank you ..

 

Pacific wax myrtle might be possible, as it has done well on a sopping clay bank at the Government Locks in Seattle. It was also used there in a mixed wetland planting including more obvious choices such as bald cypress trees. Water pools during wet periods in the flat area where this planting was made.

 

hi, ron .. thanks for the idea .. i'll look up myrtle ..
