We have a summer place near Hedley, BC. It is on a bluff with lots of firs and a few pines. Somebody in the past cut a 9-m-wide (30-ft.) swath through the trees down a bank 150 m (500 ft.) to the river. I would now like to plant trees and shrubs to give privacy, colour and interest. It will be difficult to irrigate the area, so I am thinking the plants need to be of a variety that is drought tolerant.
