screen planting in shade

Questionsscreen planting in shade
pamela de bri Staff asked 14 years ago

We have a small wooded area with a mixture of large conifers which we are slowly replacing with ash, oak and other deciduous trees. However there is a new large building beside us, (there is a large deep ditch on the outer side of the boundary) and we wish to plant screening along our side of the boundary. It is shaded and dry. Any suggestions for trees/hedging? In the past we have tried beech and lawson which did not die but did not grow either.
