Hello all, I have 3, 4x4 bottomless box planters. I am trying to
decide what trees to plant in them. Next to the planters are
apartments, so I want something that will block them. Out of sight
out of mind. The trees need to be evergreen (blocking the view of the
apartments year round), fast growing, single trunk rather than a bush.
I live in the Sacramento area. Any suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

Check out Podocarpus, common name Yew PIne.

Thanks for the suggestion. Is Podocarpus the same a fern pine? I
thought it was a bush rather than a tree? Do you happen to know the
growth rate?

Thanks again
