Evergreen plants in containers
Hello,
I have a terrace to my flat. It is 30f long by 12ft.wide. My south view is onto a brick wall of the next flat, whilst the terrace is open on an East to West aspect. It can be quite windy but I do get a lot of sun apart from the base of the North facing brick wall.
I would like to screen the E and W ends of the terrace but can only use containers.
Any suggestions?
Anna

If weight is of no concern, I recommend Arbutus Unedo. The Strawberry Tree. Very tough tree/shrub and lovely evergreen leaves and flowers followed by fruit the year after. Stiff stems and tough leathery leaves.
Small leaf plants like Rosemary and Lavender will do fine too. Low growing plants like Erigeron Karvinskianus, Thyme and Armeria, the sea thrift will do fine too. Eryngium and Grasses like the leatherleaf sedge are also fine in windy and sunny locations.
