I'm looking for recommendations for evergreen trees to screen out a view. Screening is to go along a 6-8 foot high backyard fence which is gets lots of afternoon sun. Prefer to have a tree form which would have trunk to fence height than evergreen crown above. Mature height in the 15-25 foot range. Located in Vancouver, thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Thank you! I just looked up Myrica californica, looks good. Planting a total of 11 or 12 trees to use for the screen, and would like to group in 3-4's which leaves me looking for a total of 3 or 4 species. List now has Arbutus unedo, Magnolia grandiflora and Myrica californica. Thanks again, always appreciate your suggestions and quick response.
hello - be sure to check the local bylaws about fence and hedge heights - sometimes it differs from side to front to rear yard (assuming a square/rectangle lot. a simple google search shows this info bulletin from the City of Vancouver BC - you will obviously need to check that this is the most-current version. http://vancouver.ca/files/cov/fences_arbours_trellis_guidelines.pdf here's a blog article from a lower mainland realtor's promotional website - wow, there are some garden photos to dream of for sure - http://jaybanks.ca/vancouverrealestatenews/2013/03/19/living-fences-vancouver/
