Besides, the tree requires full sunlight to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. For optimum and rapid growth, make sure you’re in zones 6-10. Plant in mid-fall when the soil is still warm. Other than that, the Leyland cypress is a fast-growing evergreen tree with feathery foliage and a pleasing slender profile. This tree is probably one of the most popular screening plants and as such, it is often planted in unsuitable areas increasing its susceptibility to pests. Leyland Cypress makes an excellent screening plant so much to its detriment. So you can be sure you’ll find exactly the right combination of trees for your landscape project.

The others include US hardiness zones, soil types, sunlight requirements, and whether your house is a storey building or not. Choose plants for a particular site based on those factors and you won’t go wrong. The first consideration is the aesthetic and cultural conditions. Whether you’re experienced in landscaping matters or a total newbie, there are several factors to consider when deciding the best trees for privacy. While there may be an overlap, I have focused largely on the fastest growing evergreen trees. In today’s article, I’m going to share 17 of the very best trees for a privacy screen. Let me just say, you’ve come to the right place. So be sure to plant your broadleaf evergreens and evergreen perennials, such as Helianthemum (Rock Rose), in a spot where they are more shaded during the winter.Looking for the best trees for privacy screen? High-intensity sunshine combined with frozen soil prevents the foliage from transpiring (losing moisture through the leaves to cool the plant). Too much sun during Western winters can result in burned foliage. This is an important consideration for broadleaf evergreen plants in cold climates. This can change a sunny location into a shady location. Sunny Winters in Cold Areas of The West - During winter, the sun is lower in the sky, and the angle of the sunlight shifts. So plant for current sunlight conditions and understand that in five or more years, you may need to change out your plants as conditions become more shady. What was once a sunny spot may gradually change to part or full shade conditions. New Homes - In new housing developments, sunlight conditions will change over time as trees mature. Hot Summer Weather - When day temperatures begin to regularly exceed 90◦F, many plants will benefit from afternoon shade. So variegated plants will do best in part sun, dappled, or full shade. Variegated Plants - Plants with variegated foliage will always need less sun that the same species with green leaves. Along with the humid, hazy skies, the strength of the sun's rays are greatly diluted by the time they reach the ground, whereas in the high elevation areas of New Mexico, our 300+ days of cloudless skies and lack of humidity and haze fail to dull the strength of our intense sunshine.Įlevation generally has a huge effect on the sun's intensity the higher above sea level, the stronger the sunshine, and the higher the ultra-violet wavelengths. Full sun conditions in Ohio are radically different than in New Mexico. This is a huge continent with pronounced regional differences in elevation, heat, humidity, cloud cover, and the resulting intensity of the sun's rays. The intensity of sunshine varies considerably as one moves across the U.S. So early on, I found it to be very important to define what sun or shade conditions mean to gardeners here, especially to those who've moved from areas with more benign and less sunny climates. A shade loving plant in too much sun quickly becomes a puff of smoke. And I've gained a healthy respect for the strength and intensity of our sunshine. I've been gardening in the high desert of New Mexico for more than three decades.
