I get plenty of questions about planting bushes or other plants for privacy and my suggest is Sugar Palms. Looks like what I have read from different sources they can grow to about 20’ tall and 16’ wide. This would be great for areas around pools and areas you want privacy. I was recently asked to view a pool home and they had sugar palms lining the outside of the birdcage, perfect as you had all the privacy you wanted. Maybe you have a paver patio and want an area of privacy a few of these will so the trick.
Sugar Palms are hardy and can handle cold temps one site said 20º another said 25º. You should water regularly but allow the soil dry out between watering to avoid root rot. Once established Sugar Palms can handle drought periods, they respond well to fertilizer which you can pick up at Lowe’s or Home Depot.
We have plenty of locally owned greenhouses so do your homework to find the best place to buy!
