Green buttonwood is a Florida native and one of the best tall privacy hedges. It clips well and tolerates salt, wind and dry spells.
It can also be grown as a tree. The base can thin out over time, so we space plants so the row stays full.
Expect a few trims a year to hold it at the height that fits your lot.
