Greetings all,
I live in Zone 5 (Catskills Region of New York State).

I'd like to plant 4 to 6 10 to 14 foot spruce trees on my
sdie lawn for screening.

screening from what? wind? neighbor too close? outbuildings?
how much lateral area do you have (how wide is your side
yard)? where is your septic system?

The side lawn gets plenty of sun.

how much do you think is "plenty"? all day? half day? morning
or afternoon?

Will trees of that height take as transplants?

yes, if you can afford trees that size & the heavy equipment
to plant them.

What kinds of spruce trees would be appropriate?

blue, white, Norway.
blue makes the best spruce beer though.
if you want them for screening or a wind break, two staggered
rows are better than a single row & you're talking a width of
20 or more feet.
