What would you plant here as a privacy screen? I’m open to anything that would block my view of this damn stump that is leftover from my neighbor cutting down a beautiful cottonwood. zone 7a. Looking for somewhat drought tolerant – shrubs or trees! Anything. Also not expensive

Holy shit how big was that tree!?
This is heartbreaking:( sorry I have nothing to contribute
It’s a thin plot of land and 7A should be far enough north for arborvite. I hate them. The are the hedging cliche of the last 20 years. But they are thin and evergreen. Many different hieghts to choose from. Any native tall junipers in your area? Check with a local nursery. Red cedars are another possibility. We have several. Just dont shade out the base. That goes for most evergreens.
I just bought some Cypress Totem’s and absolutely have fallen in love with them. I want more. Maybe not your style but if it is I highly reccomend! They’re so soft and fluffy and smell piney and comforting! I hear they grow fast too, but not too fast
I’d just plant some ficus
I just shed a tear. That is so sad. That tree saw beginning and end of blood lines.
When I was a kid my neighbor cut down our cottonwood that was on the property line to get an extra foot for their new garage instead of building around it. It was no measure to this glorious specimen.
