Looking for backyard privacy but want an alternative to traditional cedars? Here are three deciduous trees that provide screening and add seasonal colour—even in winter:

Fagus sylvatica ‘Fastigiata’

Although deciduous, this upright European Beech holds its leaves through winter, offering a warm orange-brown hue and year-round privacy.

Quercus robur × bicolor ‘Nadler’

A narrow, fast-growing oak, ideal for tight spaces where screening is needed without taking up too much room.

Carpinus betulus ‘Lucas’

A medium-sized pyramidal Hornbeam with bright yellow fall foliage. Its leaves often persist into winter, ensuring continued coverage and structure.
