| Working on tweeking front landscape. Creating new bed in front of neighbor's split rail fence. Filling in with knockout roses. Landscapcer recommended spruce in this space. I think it will grow too big. Looking for large shrub (or possibly a small tree) to put at the end of this bed. Would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks!!

| There's like a million varieties of "spruce"- what one were they wanting to use? What sort of light does this area see? |

| Are you trying to screen the neighbor's view? Maybe a tall hedge would work better than a tree; you can also use it as background to the roses. Choices I've seen/used ninebark, viburnum, lilac, Rose of Sharon. Why are you removing the birch? |
