    We want to plant some large shrubs - or a tree - in front of our front porch to give us a little privacy. Problem is, this spot gets only about 2 hours of sun each day, in the morning. I wanted rhodies but I think they need more sun. Ideally, I want something that will grow fairly fast. I'm dreaming, right? Will ANYTHING, fast- or slow-growing, survive on that little sun?? Yes, I know astilbes... but they don't get 8 feet tall.
    Any advice will be much appreciated!
