Smokey_SC, here are pictures of the yard showing the gaps I want to fill in. Two pix were taken at ground level and one from a second floor window. You'll see the area is full of underbrush but there are big gaps - makes me feel like I'm in a fishbowl when I sit in our back yard. I don't much care in the winter, but in spring-summer-fall I would like a more private feeling.
Whatever grows fairly fast would work. I particularly like Rose of Sharon which does well around here.
I'm a rank novice so I'm open to suggestions.
