Trees and Shrubs to Block the Sight of a Road

RE: Trees and Shrubs to Block the Sight of a Road Post By Lynda (Guest Post) (06/12/2007) Evergreen, Red-tipped Photenia grow fast/tall/wide,and flower, and are good road screening you will enjoy. They take minimal care. Good luck and God bless. : ) RE: Trees and Shrubs to Block the Sight of a Road Post By Nancy from Nokomis (Guest Post) (05/03/2007) Hi -- can you get 'multiflora rosa' (rosa rugosa) where you are? It grows into a beautiful impenetrable 10-13 foot tall hedge with lovely pink flowers on it from spring to fall. We used in place of a fence to keep our kids from wandering into the road. I don't know the hardiness zone for the plant, but that was in Western Massachusetts. Evergreens are also nice (but expensive!) -- like Colorado spruce -- planted in staggered rows for extra sound and view blocking. Good luck!

It has taken about 4 years for them to grow up tall. The nice thing about them is they blossom from summer to winter. I planted them 4 feet apart using all their colors: white, pink and red. However, they are poisonous to animals and people if eaten. They keep their leaves in the winter.
