Wow, you guys are great. SO much info!
Aside from the potential logging, I like privacy. We moved here a year and a half ago and have done so much, but we are far from done. There are so many lovely choices.
That Elderberry is so pretty dyzzypyxxy, I will keep it on the list and maybe try it with the others.
Never considered vines, dirtdorphins, but will look them and consider, thank you.
Bonehead, thank you for your thoughts about the wildlife, that is very important to my husband. I found a great site
http://www.nwplants.com/busine... and there are two nice Elderberries and loads of other good choices. Also Bonehead (feel mean calling you that), that Evergreen Huckleberry looks real good! I will add Mahonia in the foreground and it grows already in this forest. The other one you mentioned leucothe,,,I am a little afraid of as I killed several pots of it, as it died wherever I planted it, but that was at another property. Very pretty plant though. Thank you!!!
