My neighbors just put a trampoline right next to our shared fence! Every time I step outside the kids are staring right into my backyard from atop the trampoline 💀 I have a couple trees overhead that cause the ground to be generally shady but maybe with occasional sun throughout the day. Please recommend some shrubbery that I could plant next to my fence, which would tolerate such lighting conditions and ideally grow to a minimum of 8 feet in height!

Attractive white flowers in spring give way to ornamental berries in the fall, bringing birds flocking to your yard for a tasty treat. However, the berries are not suitable for human or pet consumption. Wax Myrtle is a fast-growing option for privacy hedges, with dense foliage, olive green leaves, and winter fruit.
