Best privacy shrub (6ft +) in mostly shade under large tree?

I live in southeast PA and was wondering if Hick’s Yew or Emerald Arborvitae were good choices. I would like something green year round and I don’t like bamboo. Or are there any better choices?

Emerald Green Arborvitae will not do well in shade. Yews do fine, but grow VERY slowly. Bamboo is a nuisance and will spread somewhere you don’t want it to grow. Ligustrum (privet) makes a good hedge in shade. I think wax myrtle makes a good shade-loving hedge, but I don’t know if it gets too cold in PA for that. You could also try Indica Azaleas, but again, I’m almost sure it would get too cold. Go to a local nursery and ask to look at plants that will do well in the shade of a large tree. Then look around and find some mature plants growing in a similar situation as yours. Then you can shop for the best price. You can get some good deals going into late fall. Good Luck.
