[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our backyard neighbor lost 3 pine trees in the windstorm last winter and now there are no trees between our lots. Our lot is much more shallow than hers and the property line follows along a natural drainage path.

I’d like to find some. Virginia natives, like an evergreen of some sort, to plant that will grow tall but not wide (shallow depth yard between property line and our house).  Any ideas?[/quote]

American Holly. They grow slightly wide. But dense, evergreen, native, and will screen it all out. Just prune it some, if you must.[/quote]

But they are so pokey! Or am I thinking of English Holly? I’m not sure but I’m ready to remove ours because they attack me when I’m out gardening.

I don't know English Holly. But the American is a tree, not a shrub. Birds love them. They are a great screen out tree. But, they are a holly and they all have those pointy edges. THe American variety is super beneficial to birds. Hope you don't pull it. :)
