APRILMAEMAE San Antonio, TX October 18, 2009 12:02 PM	i live in texas (zone 9) we just installed an inground swimming pool. I have a 6 foot wooden fence that i want to landscape. I wanted something taller in the back against the fence for privacy and then something mediun sized then small in the front. any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

APRILMAEMAE San Antonio, TX October 18, 2009 02:42 PM	hi yes its mostly sun. it is 5 feet from pool edge.
