We currently have a Heavenly Bamboo that was planted before we moved into our house. It is partially blocking the view of the gutter drain. I absolutly hate this plant and want to remove it, but I still want something in its place so the drain won't be in full view. In the picture attached, our home is the one on the left side. We live in Military housing, so we are limited to our front yard for planting (back yard is common area) which is why are vegetable garden is in the front. I want something that will provide a cleaner look, possibly a fast growing tree of some sort that will only reach about 8-10ft high or so, but I am open to any and ALL suggestions. I live in zone 9, and the area is full sun.
