Low height pine tree

I need a low but wide pine tree to provide a natural barrier. I initially was thinking a Japanese Red Pine but I dont think they would grow well here in Philadelphia and its in a somewhat shaded area. Any suggestions ?

You can do that by entering a search phrase like this: – plum yew plant hardiness zone –
