I am trying to create a row of privacy trees in my backyard along the fence. I currently have italian cypress that are not making it. We are at their bottom zone tolerance and i think this last winter was their last straw and they are all going brown from the bottom up this spring/summer. They were doing okay for the last 4 years, not thriving but ok with only some brown until this last year and now it is a slow death. I am now wondering if Taylor Juniper Trees would work in the area instead. The area is in a full sun area but the sun is more partial until the trees are over the fence. The house behind us is a little higher which is why I am going for trees that are tall but also narrow and would prefer evergreen but am open to suggestions. thanks!
