One of the most common requests we get is people wanting to screen out a neighbour or an ugly building or structure.
Therefore the tallest growing trees are a must!
Most of the tree varieties below can reach heights of up to 8m plus.
The varieties are all Evergreen so they will keep their foliage all year round.
Please bear in mind that plants are living things and how tall any such variety will reach is always dependent on the plant's environment and how happy they are in their position with sunlight, water and soil playing a major part in how tall the plants will eventually reach at maturity in any given space.
