    I have an area of my garden which I'd like to be predominantly firs and heathers. To one side of that there is a raised bed next to the boundary fence. Part of this area is very narrow. I wanted to put some tall screening plants in this area and was wondering whether j.scopulorum skyrocket would be suitable, as it only grows to a width of 30cm? Would the trees cope with a narrow but deep bed? Would they give enough screening at the top, or do they taper off too much? Any assistance would be much appreciated.Many thanks. Jacqui
