Dear Readers,
Please beware the words "fast grower", as they can cause more trubble in the long term with maintenance issues.
Yes, you'll gain a lovely fast-growing screen to stop the peeking issues from each side of the fence, but consider the annual maintenance of such a screen - how many times per year will you need to prune it to maintain the height you want?
Any hedge will need to be pruned on a regular basis from planting time onwards to result in a dense compact screen. If it is not, a spindly straggly look may be the result, depending on the species chosen.
In reality, fast-growing = more pruning, so please choose carefully.
