evergreen trees in full shade
Comments (5)The highest quality, long-term screening plantings for shaded sites in cold climates are still the traditional yew, holly and box. There are many kinds of holly, unless your New York(?) climate is too severe for much other than Ilex opaca you might be able to use a different kind of holly, that looks different. Otherwise, there are many cultivated varieties of that species - maybe a variation like yellow berries instead of red would be dramatic enough to please you....See MoreEvergreen Shade and Privacy Trees for Houston Texas
Comments (8)How wide of a canopy do you want on the trees? What is on the other side of the fence, by the way? Will neighbors mind a large canopy spreading over their yard? Perhaps you really just need a tall hedge? If you need a wide canopy for shade, you'll get falling debris in the pool. All trees drop leaves, flowers, etc. No getting away from that. Maybe you need wide canopy trees further away from pool and then more upright hedge plants along the pool portion of your fence? Something denser and more refined than a tree? For along the pool, small trees such as Terstroemia, Yaupon holly, Sandankwa Viburnum, Callistemon, Podocarpus, Oleander, Pittosporum, Feijoa, Camellia (shade), Wax myrtle, Osmanthus fragrans, Sophora (Tx Mt. Laurel), Dahoon holly or hybrids, Satsuma mandarin or Kumquat if hardy, 'Teddy Bear' or 'Baby Grand' Southern Magnolia, Cherry laurel 'Bright n Tight' (possible berry issue) would be nice and evergreen. Heck, maybe even some palms? This post was edited by dave_in_nova on Tue, Sep 9, 14 at 10:07...See MoreWhere to buy trees?
Comments (8)Im currently looking for trees myself. I was duly impressed with Treeland. Every tree has a computer printed tag that lists the relevant info: price, growth rate and size, frost level, etc. Best of all stores when it comes to self-service, plus their folks seem knowledgeable. Next Id say its Whitfill nursery on Southern and 32st (this is their tree location). I looked at A&P but most of their trees were 15 gal or 24" box trees, i wanted bigger. After two tries at Moon Valley I can say without a doubt I will never buy from them again. As someone else posted, they might work on commission and that would explain a lot of the BS i dealt with there when I didnt know any better. I asked up front and at least at Treeland and Whitfill they do not work on commissions....See Moreevergreen tree for shade
Comments (2)There's a small park not too far from where I live that has several Serbian Spruce growing among larger deciduous trees (primarily Oaks). The trees are on the north side of a decent sized hill, and are pretty much surrounded by the Oaks. The Spruce are in the 20-25' range and I'm surprised at how well they are doing considering the relativley shaded conditions they're growing. It's certainly not full shade, but at least half shade. I'll try to get some pics of these trees in the next couple of days....See Moreken_adrian Adrian MI cold Z5
