evergreen trees for half barrels

zeus

By Zeus

I look out on my shaded decking area which is backed by the 2 storey wall of a neighbour's barn.(black painted wood). What bright, tallish evergreen trees can I plant in 2 half barrels to break up the black wall up? I live in the south-east.

There are a lot of conifers that will grow in the tubs... go down to your local garden centre and take a look. Juniper sky rocket would be one, some of the Abes... the world is your oyster
