    Hi

    I live on the first floor with a large but very windy terrace. I want an evergreen, sturdy bush/tree to plant in pots along the front to protect my other plants from the wind and to also act as a privacy screen. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Many thanks

    Welcome to GC josiecc, and Fonzie's idea is good. Seeing as how it would be confined to pots, it can't get out of hand. The bonus would be the lovely sound of the wind rustling it.
