Default My search for Tall Living Fence continues

Hi,

Here's what I've found so far in my quest for low cost ( I hope)
plants / trees that will grow over 20 feet, and screen out what is behind them.

I've found a place that will sell me 3 ft tall Arbor Vitae for $8 each,
which sounds pretty cheap, bu these arbs only grow 12 to 18 feet.

The same place also has columnar bllue spruce, which grow to 60 feet, and
get wider than the AV, but they are $99 each !! I would need about 6 of
these, probably, equals $600. So they are out, unfortunately.

Can't find bamboo anywhere, and I've heard it's expensive anyway, and you need
to dig a trench.

I've seen some columnar pines nearby, in a row, and they are very dense, very
nice blockage, and about 40 feet tall. They would be ideal. But too expensive,
probably.

My question today is : Where can I get AV's that grow over 20 feet ? Would the
typical nursery have them ? Do I have to order them online ? I'd like to see
what I buy before I buy it.


Thanks,

L
