| Hello,
I'd like to create an evergreen hedgerow bordering a wooded area at the back of our yard. The area is shady to part shady in the summer - wooded area is mostly deciduous. Does anyone have suggestions for shrubs or trees that would fill in rather quickly and reach a height of ~ 5 - 15 ft.? Any help will be greatly appreciated. |

| well, of course boxwood comes to mind. There are several variety, some that can take some sun and others that need more shade. You can prune the boxwood to a neat row or let them grow more loosely if you choose. It's just a great shrub. Check with your garden center for what kind are available and which do well for your area. |

| The evergreen Yew will take a lot of shade. |

| Barberries can take quite a bit of shade...used them for erosion control under a deck one time...they prospered and grew very quickly. The standard varieties get quite tall. |
