What small tree or large shrub should we plant?
We live in GA. The area in question is on a slope. On the back side is our bedroom; on one side is the retaining wall at the end of our house; one side is to our patio, and the front side slopes down into our back yard. We are wanting to block the view to the house next door. In winter, this area is completely in the shade, but in summer it's total hot GA sun! I have used banana trees and sunflowers with success during the summer, but of course there's nothing there in winter. We are looking for a small tree or large shrub to block the view. Something that's easy care, able to withstand the cold without sun, but also able to take the 100 degree hot sun in summertime. Thanks!
