privacy shrubs for sunny property edge – zone 4

[Anonymous]

In addition to Margaret’s excellent suggestions, you might want to look at red twig (osier) dogwood. It is hardy to zone 3, also has spring white flowers, blue berries in fall and fabulous red stems that look grand in winter. Birds like it. I use it with viburnum, bayberry, inkberry and oak leaf hydrangea along the road for similar screening reasons.
