We have just had our old shed removed and the patio replaced with a deck and a large raised bed. It has obviously exposed 1 side of the house to our neighbours over the road and we would like our privacy back. We have various shrubs , ferns and bamboo in place and ready to go but we are looking for a quick fix, a tree, preferably evergreen (no leylandi!) that can sit in amongst the shrubs.

Would be greatful for any recommendations? Love the tropical look of things like Albizia Julibrissin which somebody recommended but worried about its performance and screening abilities in the UK?



Cheers
Ben
