In the corner of my yard, it is necessary to put something that will reach at least 10 ft high, to screen off a neighbors window that has a birdseye view of our patio, and makes my girlfriend not want to be on the patio. The area is a tiny bit cramped, so I can't have a tree with widely spreading limbs. I don't believe there is any time of day when this location gets direct light. Its not dark, but not direct. Sort of dappled I guess. I am trying to stick with natives...or nearly natives. The two I am considering are Savannah Holly and the "Bright and Tight" cultivar of Cherry Laurel. My concern is that with limited light, the foliage might be a bit sparse to truly screen the area. Has anyone had any relevant experience with these plants.

Thanks

Dave
