[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe chindo viburnum. I think it depends how much shade you’re talking, but ours grow well in partial shade where hollies have not done well. [/quote]

I just got japanese hollies (compact, not for OP's needs) at American Plant and was told they can tolerate a lot of shade, they just won't grow as fast. Sounds like not your experience?[/quote]

We had a large condo complex go in behind our house. There’s a pretty large tree save are between us and the complex, but they also planted a row of hollies as an additional privacy barrier for us during the winter when the trees lose their leaves. The area is in part to full shade. Every single holly they planted died. Perhaps there were other reasons (lack of water after the planting?). They ended up replacing them all with ligustrum (I know, not great since it’s invasive, but nobody asked us). The ligustrum have grown like crazy. We also have a bunch of  chindo viburnum back there that we planted on our side of the property line after the hollies died, and they are happy too. [/quote]
