Birch isn't evergreen!

Yep, I know, but was considering either or

How about viburnum tinus? I have one about 10 ft high and 6 ft wide,
but I cut it back when it gets too big. It has flower interest in
winter. Not sure about the roots, as mine is futher from the house.
Janet's idea of a screen sounds a better bet.


I agree. I am thinking more of a screen now. Thanks for replying Pam
