Shrubs For Privacy & Security
Many shrubs work well as dividers or screens for the yard and home. In this role they form a living wall to shield the property from sounds, winds, or prying eyes. Common examples include:
Barberry (Berberis species)
Cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera)
Cotoneasters
Hawthorn (Crataegus species)
Japanese holly (Ilex crenata)
Osmanthus
Rugosa rose
Yews (Taxus species)
