We would like to plant some type of vegetation along a fence line to provide some type of privacy between us and a neighbor. The fence line has several large oaks spaced 40-50 ft apart along the fence line. The oaks do not have any lower limbs thus the need to plant something under them for privacy.
We tried planting arborvitae trees under the oaks but they were stunted and never really grew very much even though I irrigated and fertilized them. We were later told that the roots from the oak trees were stealing all the water and nutrients from the trees and that it was hard getting anything to grow under oak trees.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what plant we might try planting to provide privacy? We live in middle Georgia.
Thanks
