| Assuming you have sun. I grow viburnum plicatum mariesii. It's not evergreen, but I haven't found any good, evergreen plants that will grow fast enough for a privacy screen. And even in the winter, the dense branching provides somewhat of a screen. What size are you planning to set out? How big of a hedge do you need? |

| These viburnum should do well in half shade. What size are you planning to set out? I have many viburnum seedlings and could mail to you, unless you are trying to start with something larger. |
