Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, here! Ready to chat about creating a private paradise – and fast! Summer is prime time for plant growth, especially for privacy screens.

Here are some superstar shrubs that'll shoot up in no time:

1. Arizona Cypress: This native beauty boasts silvery-blue foliage and reaches a majestic 25 feet tall. It thrives in our climate and provides excellent wind protection. Bonus: it attracts beautiful cones, not pollen-heavy juniper berries.
2. Atlas Cedar: Picture a Colorado Spruce on steroids! This majestic giant, Prescott's statehood tree, boasts sweeping branches that offer fantastic noise reduction.

Planting Power Tips:

• Choose natives: They're naturally adapted to our climate and thrive with minimal fuss.
• Water deeply: One good soak a week is better than frequent sprinklings.
• Feed your friends: Give your plants a boost with a good all-purpose fertilizer like Watters 7-4-4.
• Take advantage of summer: The warm weather and occasional rain encourage rapid growth.

Bonus Tip: Don't neglect your existing plants! Prune spent blooms from roses and yarrows, then fertilize – you'll be rewarded with a whole new wave of flowers.

Remember: Consistent care now translates to a lush, private haven later. So, grab your tools, embrace the summer power surge, and watch your privacy screen flourish!
