Plant selection - narrow, 6-15 foot evergreen plants?
Question:I am looking for suggestions on plants that are evergreen fairly narrow 2 feet ish and will grow 6-15 feet. I am willing to trim them 2-3 times a yr to keep them withing my standard, I need them to be deer resistant, able to grow in Zone 7, and not be a juniper. Goal is to block the main view of the electrical box on the house and a second to balance the plan.
Answers:
'Sky pencil' Ilex crenata slow growing so you need to buy as large as you can find.
Euonymus 'Green Spire' 6-8' tall
Buxus 'Graham Blandy' 9'-11' x 2' slow growing
Buxus 'Green Tower'

Ditto the first answer. Skyrocket juniper is the only other shrub I know with those parameters.
Have you thought of a trellis and vine? May suit your needs better, without the trimming!
