Considerations of Privacy Trees for Oregon

Privacy trees need to be chosen carefully and with complete consideration of the location. If you live in a place with a mild climate over the year, you need to be vigilant in your selection of plants. You would want to choose fire-resisting shrubs or trees as the temperature there is not very trustworthy. Using multi-trunk plants with a significant amount of vegetation that maximized the screening would be wise. For a low-risk privacy screen, combine different varieties to create a more attractive landscape. Consider the local fire professional for advice regarding location, design, and the recommended distances between plants.

1.Multi-Trunks and Low-Branching Plants

Evergreen, deciduous multi-trunk shrubs and trees enhance the privacy hedges. Their multiple stems and low branched shrubs and trees make a better privacy screen than a single-trunked, higher branched tree. Even when the leaves have fallen, multiple stems still provide good coverage by creating a visual barrier. A thick fence of foliage made my multi-trunk and low-branch trees or shrubs provide privacy from 1-2 foot above the ground and can grow as tall as 10-20 feet.

2. Blend Diverse Species

Many people go for the typical style of choosing one species of trees or shrubs while creating a privacy screen. However, to form a natural layered view that delivers year-round privacy as well as interest, you can mix different species of plants. One great advantage of combining various shrubs is that you can easily replace a plant if it dies or withers. While in uniformly planted shrubs, it is not easy to return a bush if it dies.

3. Stagger Plantings

Multiple species can be grown for a privacy screen by not planting trees and shrubs in a single, straight row. Each plant is bent towards their nearest plant, removing any space for peeking. This offers a good screen, and the separated plants lower the risk of spreading fire.
