Hi Betsey - Red Twig dogwood or French grafted lilac will suffice. The
lilacs will reach the maximum height faster than the dogwoods. Also the
lilacs will provide nice blossoms for the table.

hi derryl...
thank you for the input...a local grower also suggested lilac as well....any
idea on how long for it to reach height? what is the annual growth rate?

im thinking of mixing lilac with pussy willows along the fence line...your
thoughts?

thank you again...

I'd plant giant Sequoia if it'd grow here.
