Sea Buckthorn
This is a fruit-bearing outdoor plant for all you health nuts out there! If you prefer not to have any ornamental grasses or evergreens, you can still have a privacy fence by planting some sea buckthorn shrubs in your yard.
Besides providing you with luscious silvery-green foliage that blocks your neighbor’s view, this shrub produces delicious berries that are chock-full of vitamin C.
They’ll stand out in your backyard because of their unique visual beauty and their height of up to ten feet. Undoubtedly, this is one of the best plants for privacy that can be a welcome addition to any garden…and it’s also delicious!

Can you tell me what outdoor plant would give us privacy?
We live in Casa Grande Arizona. We are in between Phoenix and Tuson.
Thank you.!!!!
How much does the jack frost privet run. I am in BROOKSVILLE Florida. Would that be good here.
As a lifetime gardener with an acre of gardens, I still do have one neighbor who is nasty. He’s upwind, and sends me weed seeds from his riverbank he rarely tends to. Screens would be nice to keep out the seeds, if they could.
You do not list zones. You do not always list normal heights. You do not always list sun/pt shade/shade. That pic of ‘jack frost privet’ shows not white margins. Bamboo is not invasive? HA!! Seen it before, especially in warmer zones. I realize you had only so much room, but straightforward listing of the important stuff is so much more helpful than amusing literature.
Thanks!!
Privet is dangerous to horses. Bamboo is extremely invasive. What about fig trees or magnolias?
