Trees to create privacy?

 


Can anyone give me any ideas on planting bare-root trees in the Autumn
time
that would grow tall (or could buy tall/fledged) that would be
perfect for
creating privacy??

We have just had a load of Llandii taken down that have grown tall,
which
blocked out the house overlooking our garden for privacy and also
now let the
light into our garden

We are now looking for something similar (not so thick as Llandii) that
would
create privacy but also block the windows that now seem to be
peering into our
garden and back of the house!

Would tree's like Ash be ok? do they grow tall for privacy?

Thanks for any advice

Where are you?

Ash is too slow growing, are large deciduous trees, and don't do well
growning close together... planting bare root ash you wouldn't live
long enough to see any summer privacy even if you have the acreage to
plant several rows.

One of the best screening trees is Canadian Hemlock.

Thuja Green Giant is a fairly fast growing evergreen hybrid that makes
a good screen. But a lot depends on your specific location and growing
zone.

sunlight in..? (at the
end of the day as it will be west facing)
