I'd like to plant a shrub next to a mature Japanese Maple but I don't want to damage the tree. We live on a corner, there are a lot of passersby and I want a more private enclosed feeling for our backyard. There are quite a few shrubs already along the fence, except for this one big gap by the J.M. What can I plant there that will grow tall fairly fast, but not hurt the roots of the JM? I want to plant a shrub that'll reach 6' tall in a few years, if that's possible. I'm in zone 6.
