Dear friends,

Need your advice for privacy screening solutions from neighbours (see pictures).
The solution should cover the fence throughout , as well to stand out over the fence 1/2~1 meter.

Thanks in advance

some sort of vine perhaps? That's a hard area to work with because it doesn't seem to have much sun light or maybe it's just the angle of the photo. however you could plant a few large containers with flowering vines and train them to go upwards. or you could use espaliered trees against the fence wall. in time they will fill out and cover the fence.

jonny10, have you come up with any ideas? Is this fence yours-or do you share it with the neighbors? Thinking

Try Fatsia japonica. It thrives in deep shade. Max height is 8 to 10 feet. Large beautiful evergreen
leaves which can be thinned to edit the density of foliage or the privacy of view. The can be cut to ground and will then resprout. Long lived.

I would plant a row of them along the side of the fence, spaced about 4 feet apart.

Oh... Fatsia also do well in pots. If you don't have enough soil there by the wall, use big pots.

Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
Syzygium paniculatum

And vines of pretty much any type on a trellis. Distictis and Macfadyena will stick to any rough surface.

I agree with Greenriverfs that fatsia japonica would be a good choice. It grows fairly fast, is evergreen, the leaves can become huge with fertilizer and water, you can prune it to any shape or height you want, and it won't shed leaves all over your neighbor's property---a big plus!

They do like sun. It would look nice for sure if the environment was right. Your climate might be too cold as well. Thinking
