Hello,

I am looking for an evergreen to plant in our shaded backyard that is capable of blocking our view of our neighbor's massive television. In the summer the woods block the bright flashing screen, but in the winter I'm subject to every bright Xbox explosion. One well-placed tree will do it! Our yard is part to full shade with well-drained soil on the edge of an oak grove. The soil is slightly acidic and loamy. I really like the look of the Blue Atlas Cedar, but that one seems to require full sun. Is there anything similar out there that would do well in part/full shade?

Thanks in advance!
