Need suggestions for an approximate 5-6 foot shrub or tree to provide privacy for a window
Yaupon holly might be your best bet? Slow grower, but not super picky about soil or drainage.
More on reddit.comI want to find some fast growing evergreen shrubs for privacy in front of a 5.5 ft tall stone fence that runs for 100 feet. Ideally, they would eventually be between 6-7 feet tall. I am in zone 7. What would work best?
5-6' tall evergreen or shrub suggestions

I'd like it to grow it about 4 feet from the house and have something that will keep leaves over the winter, look nice, and be able to grow with a few feet of added soil, but ultimately it will be growing down into clay-ish substrate underneath. Full sun. Will water, but drought tolerance is good here in Texas. I've spent so much time googling and looking at garden centers and getting more confused. TIA.

Yaupon holly gets my vote too! Native, not too picky about soil, and does well in sun or part sun. The female variety has red berries that birds love, so it also provides food to wildlife!
