Not too complicated.. If you wanna block something or someone FAST... Plant bottle brush and walk away for fifteen minutes. Don't plant those little low to the ground evergreens, they get squirrelier by the month. Gardenias look good for two hours max. Plumbagos are big and pretty and blue if you treat them right. Bougainvilla's can take over and grow clear down to Orlando but their color, oh my. Hibiscus give you a lot of bang for your bucks. Hollys are pretty. Crepe Myrtle are indistructable. Palm trees need trimming and then removed and they bring palm rats.
