Can I plant a tree?
I live in a 2-story back-facing apartment. It has a tiny (150 sq ft) garden with a wall of windows looking out at the garden from both floors. But there's a "Rear Window" -style apartment building directly across the way. On the ground floor all you see is garden, but on the upper level, you're in a fishbowl.
Is there any sort of tree I can plant that would grow in the space which would block the view (without tearing up my fence since there's no real clearance)? And how many years would I even be looking at before I had any hope of not being on display?

Perhaps you should invest in curtains, shades, blinds, or shutters if you want privacy. Trees can take years to grow, and given the small amount of space that you have, it would be a challenge to find a tree that won't overtake the yard and yet provide the privacy you seek. Also remember that during the cold weather months, trees lose their leaves, unless you're thinking evergreens whose general growth habits would probably not work for you.
