Evergreens are a good choice to provide a year-round privacy screen, but most are sensitive to salt damage. Black Hills spruce and Swiss stone pine might be suitable because they are relatively salt-tolerant. If deciduous trees and shrubs are acceptable, consider burning bush (Euonymus alatus), Russian peashrub (Caragana frutex), Russian olive (Elaeagnus angustifolia) and common mulberry (Morus alba tatarica).
