I'm looking for a columnar evergreen, to grow more than 14 ft tall and stay narrow. My problem is northen exposure, with little sun, in Boston, Massachusetts, zone 6.
Arborvitae seem to need full sun, so I looked at junipers instead, since they thrive in neglect, as I was told.
Anybody had any experience with Juniper Taylor (recently disovered) and/or Juniper Skyrocket? Whould they do well in partial shade? Are they susceptible to diseases?
Does anybody have annother suggestion? I looked at Fatigiate English Oak (although not evergreen), but it grows very slow, and oaks drop their leaves in the spring - which drives me nuts ( there are oaks on my street). I also considered European poplar, but read somewhere that it's "dirty" (whatever that means?) and should never plant one.
Any oppinion?
Thanks
