[quote=Anonymous]Choosing a thick privacy hedge to block sound from and view of heavy street traffic 2 blocks away. (So more substantial than simply providing privacy between neighbors.) After looking at lots of examples, we decided upon Green Emerald Arborvitae, but when landscaper came, he said he personally did not like Arborvitae because they are more pysically delicate and prone to damage from wind and rain and snow. He recommended holly or red-tipped photinia. We don't want the sharp leaves of holly. I like the look of photinia a lot, but someone else in our neighborhood has them and they have leaf spot fungus. Landscaper said leaf spot is not a deal-breaker, fairly easy to treat and won't actually kill the plant. Please tell me about your experience with red-tipped photinia! (esp wrt leaf spot and powderey mildew). [/quote]
