Tropicdoc, I hope loquat are fast enough growing for you. I have seen giant ones which would certainly serve as a nice, dense "screen" but they have been in the ground for decades.  I can think of a twenty year old loquat tree near my house (in full sun) which is still only about fifteen feet tall. Perhaps it takes an extra decade or two to get that thirty foot tall screening height??

My two loquat trees growing in shade are quite slow, so hopefully yours will be faster in full sun.  A third one died of "blight" which is fairly common for loquats around town here.  I have seen at least a three recently which suddenly looked dead.

MNorell, I had just purchased a few of those large-leaf viburnum awabuki about a month ago. I hope they won't defoliate if temperatures drop to 20 F.  Is that what you said would happen?  Will they die back to the ground or will they simply drop a few leaves and grow them back again in the spring?  I haven't had a night drop to 20F since the big freezes of 2009-2010, so it will soon be a decade. I hopefully I will make it to two decades before I see 20 F again. 

 

Krishna on PalmTalk has some awabuki viburnum and his have never been damaged.   His climate in Ocala is similar to mine (thirty minutes away).  Fingers crossed.  (Had I known that they were marginal, I would have stuck with good old Sweet Viburnum since it is so cold hardy and evergreen, even north of here).
