Hi there I'm new to the forum and a keen amateur gardener with little
technical knowledge!

We landscaped our garden a couple of years ago and planted three trees
at the time - a silver birch and two different sorbus varieties.
Unfortunately one of the sorbus died so we had to remove it. *Having
lived with the garden for a bit now we want to plant something in its
place but ideally we would like something that is evergreen because it
would then block out the view of our neighbour's ugly garages all year
round. *

My question then is can anyone recommend a tree which is evergreen,
grows to around 15-20 feet tall and will survive in the UK? *The
position is fairly sheltered and in full sun virtually all day. *We are
in Gloucestershire if that's relevant?

Also - when looking at various websites to buy trees from they all seem
to classify size by the size of the pot eg 3 litre, 5 litre but I'm not
sure how big a tree that would be - any advice on that welcome too.

Thanks

What about Eucryphia x Nymansay? Depends on your soil and aspect of
course but in the right place it's stunning.
This is why God gave us macro lenses ;-}
