I live sort of in between zones 5 and 6 in the lattitude of Indianapolis, IN, can someone recommend a good tree or shrub that would fit this description? I want to screen out an eye sore that I see out a window that is in the 6-12 height range, so i want the tree to get leafy,dense, & have horizontal growth in that height range, I don't care if it gets to 25-30 ft, but no higher. I have some rather large trees near (5-6 ft away) this area that prevent it from getting 100% sun. I was going to pick a Bradford Pear, but many sites online recommend it to get full sun. Can it grow well in "spotty off/on" sun? Any other better suggestions? Thank you.
