Hi everyone! I am Lisa I am very new here, and very excited. i think I got this post in the right place finally.... I would like to make a privacy fence along the chain link fence and also do something for wildlife here in zone 7, it is kinda narrow, and yes I am only into my 2nd year of gardening do you think holly would be too big? how about skyrocket juniper? any suggestions? thanks so much lisa Attachments:  |

As I live in zone 8 I am not familiar with how the different shrubs/tress grow in your area. I think you could take this picture to a local garden center that offers trees for sale and ask them what would be a good plant. Looks like part of that area below the fence is flat? It would be a good place for some hedge plants/trees. Good luck in your search. Linda B from SC |

You could plant nadina shrubs (Heavenly Bamboo) along the fence. They grow to 6' to 8' tall and have red berries in the fall. Mine stay green all year with a touch of red in the winter. They thrive in sun or shade and do good in moist or dry conditions once established they are very tough. |

I didn't think of that. I have a gazillion of them coming up everywhere. My berries are still hanging on. I want to trim some of the bushes but I can't cut them while they are still so pretty. |

Another option digging room for Honeysuckle, Cematis are ususally 2x size next year for 4.99 or so 4 gallon pots. Check on light, room to grow, trellis for support (assuming that is the fence in the pic), too. also - make sure it's not a "fast growing" plant that is invasive if you have other plans for the area...... PS - Is there a spell check on this thing? I'm still learning. |

My spellchecker is on the bar at the top of my screen. I think it's a Google thing. I don't see one here on the message area, but I'm new here as well. |
