Azaleas apparently won't grow to their full height very well in Zone 5, and because of that someone recommended I don't use it for privacy. Forsythia was also not recommended because of the lack of sun, which would also slow or prevent full growth.
Privet is a good suggestion ^^^ but what was recommended to me today was the Viburnum. I especially liked the look of the Leatherleaf Viburnum, and it is certainly the front runner right now. Chicago Lustre viburnum is also a good choice, both of these were already 5 feet tall in a 5 gallon pot, and the price was very reasonable. I don't like the idea of another berry producer, I already have a crabapple tree.
Also, anyone know anything about Pampas Grass? Would this do well as a privacy screen, or do these things need full sun?
