1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    Thanks! The Hipforums Staff

    Around here we like oleanders, privet and photinia but I am not sure how they would do in zone 7. I would guess evergreen trees would be your prime choice but be aware they eat up space. If you have fencing around your property you could consider vines of some type. I use climbing roses and ivy on mine.

    if you grow vines i would suggest clematis which is gorgeous! I agree with the evergreens if you want privacy. I would go with cedar they are busy and beautiful. they attract tonnes of birds and misquitos are supposed to hate cedar.
