Hi! I’m looking to put a few potted trees or shrubs on my deck, to offer some privacy from our neighbors. Maybe 5 foot max, or something I can prune. I don’t want to totally block their view. The deck is on the east side of the house. Full sun. I’m in Portland. Thanks!

Thank you for your question, Amy. I suggest that you consider native plants for your containers. This OSU Extension article has some ideas: https://extension.oregonstate.edu/gardening/techniques/pacific-nw-native-plants-plant-community
WSU has a searchable database as well, that allows you to indicate which factors you want: https://pnwplants.wsu.edu/Search.aspx
Good luck!
