Hey all you Georgia Gardeners!

I need help with suggestions for my youngest sister who lives in Marietta Georgia. She has recently moved into a new home and is wanting to add to the meager landscaping. She has asked me for suggestions for shrubs or trees that would make a great privacy screening along a busy road at the edge of her property. It would be on the east side of the house and she said the area gets morning and some afternoon sun. She would love something that blooms during spring or summer and wants to buy plants that are about 5' tall to begin with but will grow tall and mature quickly. Any suggestions?

I live in Daytona Beach Florida so I am not at all familiar with plants that will grow in N. Georgia!

Thanks for any suggestions that I could pass along to her!
