Hello
Just bought a 2.5 acre property in melbourne. I want to plant a hedge or screen across the northern boundary of the property (~80 - 100 metres long I would guess). Trying to find ideas of what sort of plant to plant. Anyone got any ideas?
What I want: Privacy, I don't want to be able to see next door neighbours and I don't want them to see me.. there is little-no wind so that is not an issue... Something that is evergreen, fast growing and preferably looks pretty, maybe 5-8 metres tall end height
Initially I was thinking of conifers, specifically leightons green or castlewellan gold but through extensive reading on the net this seems like a potential disaster as they sound like they keep on growing forever... I want a screen 5-8 metres high, not 10m +
I haven't decided on informal/semi formal/formal hedge... I love english gardens with formal hedges but I think maintaining a hedge that long and high might turn into a nightmare if it is formal
