Default Privacy screen

In article ,
says...

Hi, we have an issue with a neighbour who borders our rear garden, he
has a complete view of our patio and conservatory and I wish to screen
the view. Can anyone recommend potted plants/trees that will provide
year round privacy, approx 8ft tall, reasonably priced and hardy as the
wind blows between the houses. Any help appreciated.

Do you mean potted as in will stay in pots or to buy in pots and plant?

Bamboo makes a good screen as it does not get taller with age and does
not need cutting like a hedge, it does however need careful planning to
avoid its roots getting away from you.
