Please help select a good tree or shrub to plant in this raised area outside my backyard fence. Its probably about 4' wide and maybe 50' long. There is a hodge podge mix of ugly trees and shrubs now and I'd prefer to have a uniform "wall" of greenery. I want it to be at least 4-5' taller than the wooden fence for privacy.

I know they aren't popular on here but I am leaning toward red tips just because I've had good luck with them for privacy before.

Not sure if I'm leaving any needed info out, but I appreciate any feedback.

Red tips take forever to grow

Wax Myrtles are great for that.

I recently learned you can drag some dead shrubs there and then spray paint them green

No to red tips. Maybe a couple of dwarf japenese maples depending on how much space you need.
