After stopping in and checking out The Villages for three years in a row, my wife and I are in the process of buying a house down in Dunedin. Being a new area, this isn't exactly as rich in trees as up in the north end. Our lanai will be staring directly into somebody else's lanai. We're thinking we want to plant some that will grow fairly tall and thick but not so thick that it will take over our yard or the neighbors.

What do people plant in this part of Florida to provide some level of privacy in these small yards? Or is everyone just so darned friendly that you don't mind reaching out from your lanai and shaking hands with the folks over in their lanai?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
