Joe Croom of Martin, Tenn., is hoping for help on the following question.

We have a boundary of about 400 – 450 feet in a field next to our pond that we want to screen from our neighbors.

We’ve planted one row of loblolly pines and are wondering what to plant next to them to ensure privacy. We love winter honeysuckle as well as Fruitlandi elaeagnus and were wondering about either of them or both (alternating the plants).

Do you or your readers have comments on how those would work or other ideas that would be fairly economical?

Joe:

I'm going to let readers have a go at this one. Please respond if you have good ideas for screening shrubs.
