Invaluable in the landscape for providing privacy screening, these tall shrubs can be sheared for a more formal effect or left to grow in a more natural manner. Those that have a strongly columnar habit make good hedges or windbreaks when planted close together. They can be kept lower with proper pruning and some can be made into topiary forms. Shrubs with airy foliage are used to soften building foundations and cover unattractive walls.
