Looking for recommendations. What should go here? Very large planter box on the way.

I have a 1m x 1m x 60cm planter box on the way, see second photo. It’s an area that gets pretty good sunlight during most of the day and ideally will want something with some height to block the neighbours view above the Colorbond fence. The photo was taken from the bottom of some stairs.

I popped into Flower Power and my initial idea of Bamboo wouldn’t be an immediate screen as it all looked very bare. I did spot a Acmena Smithii ‘Firescreen’ which looked rather nice, and would give us the immediate cover needed.

Alternatively I could go with the Lilly Pilly Resilience which you can see next to the gap and runs all the way down the driveway. This is a two parter project as the Lilly Pilly’s need some TLC in fertiliser and compost which they will get over easter.

Any suggestions welcome here.
