What is a good privacy tree or shrb with little or no maintenance?

A man just put a house trailer in the front of our house and I'm wanting a privacy fence, tree or shrub to hide it from out view. We do not want any thing that has berries or flowers. It can not spread wide we have to watch the property line and I do not want the tree or shrub to take over what little front yard I have. I live in southeast ohio. Partial shade/ sun. It would be a wind breaker too. We live on top of a hill.

Fast Barrier or Privacy Screen





Shoots up to 6 feet a year or more!





Often used as a windscreen because its branches create a dense barrier. Lowers heating bills when planted on the north side of your yard.





For a quick privacy screen, plant 5 to 8 feet apart.





Its upward-sloping branches form a gentle, columnar outline that creates a beautiful silhouette during any season.





Many enjoy its picturesque green color and its ability to mature quickly into a row of visually pleasing trees.





The Lombardy Poplar is one of the few trees to have its branches grow up rather than down.





These trees are very popular for birds to nest in.





The Lombardy Poplar does best in Growing Zones 3-9.
Reply:I would consider Thuja plicata - the western arborvitae. This is a fast growing narrow evergreen with deer resistance. It is much faster growing than easter arborvitae (white cedar). There is a selection call Sprng Grove that originated in Ohio and has good hardiness. If you can't find Spring Grove, look for Green Giant. You can see an image at:
