Creating Privacy with Trees Privacy in gardens can be created using trees to hide or screen out an undesirable view; they can also be used to draw the eye to a specific feature. Trees grown for this purpose often have a clear stem up to fence panel height around 1.8-2m with a full bushy canopy above, forming a good screen above the fence line. This type of screening is particularly useful if the garden is overlooked by neighbouring properties or to retain lower-level exposure to an attractive wall or area.
3. Magnolia grandiflora‘ Gallisoniensis’ is a show-stopping evergreen with large beautiful white flowers in the summer, which can be up to 25 cm in diameter.
4. Photinia x fraseri‘ Red Robin’ has attractive bright red new foliage that turns green with age.
5. Prunus laurocerasus Novita( Cherry or Common Laurel) is a versatile, fast growing screening evergreen that is perfect for screening. email us at hedge @ pracbrown. co. uk
