Really appreciate your input.
Something I did not mention is that I would like the planting to look ask if they could be a forest plant. Plantings along a fence are contrived at best and would not occur in nature, but the Strawberry Tree does look like our native Madrone, and it gets fairly big.
Acuba is a very beautiful shrub and I have seen it used all over the wet side on Oregon on the shady side of homes and I always like the plant. Not sure if it would look natural growing under a forest canopy. I really do not know from where it hales???? I am going to think about that one.
Never have been much of a holly fan, but it is also a good thought!! Thank you.
Eleagnus is also a commonly used shrub around here. It would also look natural growing under the forest canopy. Not sure if it grows large enough in shade. Also some of then have thorns,,,forgot to say, I am not a fan of thorns. After years of battling black berry bushes, except for carpet roses, I do not do thorns. I did get a huge respect for carpet roses at the place I had a few years ago.
Some do not have thorns, I guess I will have to do more research!!!
Anymore thoughts,,,,thank you very much!!!!
