Default Need *Tall* Plants, Western NY

Seems we have a similar problem only I have the fence! LOL. Just a little
wire green garden fence I put in for boundary of our lots. Not nice
neighbors (they have had a mattress and other misc. items piled up for
several mths in their back yard) and they are on a downward slope from my
garden. Not a pretty site.

I have planted Leyland Cypress but they are still babies so I am trying to
come up with other ideas until they can cover it up. I have also planted Ivy
for soil erosion and trying to get it to climb. Also I just received my
hyacinth bean vine seeds but they are annuals. What about Trumpet Vines?

What kind of fence are you talking about? Wood or wire? How tall?

Hi all,

I could use some plant recommendations for a strip of soil I have that
runs along my neighbour's ugly fence.

I'd like some tall plants that return every year that will cover up the
fence or hide part of the fence.

Preferably, these would be fast growing and relatively easy to acquire.

I currently have clematis growing up a portion of it which is ok....and
tons of daylillies, but these are low growing.

I was thinking bamboo? *grin* I am in Zone 5, maybe 6?

Any other thoughts?

Sally
