Any suggestions from anyone who might have any ideas what to plant in a
large tub that will grow 10' to 12' foot tall that would screen a
neighbour's window. I have no flower bed/soil as patio, hence the tub.
Can be evergreen or deciduous, would get a little early morning sunlight
from the East.
Thanks very much!

Not a shrub but you could plant some runner beans and train them to
climb tall canes for a temporary Summer screen. I believe runner beans
were first grown in this country for that purpose as a screener ?

Why do you need to screen the window?

Mike
I suppose to screen the posters patio and get some privacy.
