Hi,
We are looking to plant something in the corner of our back garden that would be reasonably for some privacy/cover. We're looking for something visually appealing also.The corner would be reasonably shaded but gets sun for a few hours a day. as the tree would grow up obviously it would get more sunlight.

We would be looking for something to grow 15 to 20 ft in height to block the view of some apartment units into our back garden, - ideally something fast growing?

I'm thinking possibly an Arbutus tree, - but are these quite slow growing? Can they be bought say at 7 to 8 feet or more?

Thanks!
