We planted a few cedars a year ago last fall that haven't been
growing fast
at all (i know, I know ... patience - but I swear, they've only
gained
about 10 inches and even that is *very* spindly). I was considering
putting a row of Leylands in front of them this year, alternating
spacing
to make kind of a "mixed" wide row of trees and provide better
blocking
thinking they would grow faster.

If Leylands are not good (I've seen the bent ones recently) - any
recommendations on what might be a good alternative for a
fast-growing
privacy screening type of evergreen?

Hiya Brent.
A couple of years ago someone (I think it was Will or Baine) put
together a great list of trees to use for screening. I saved it then
but have lost it now. Can someone else reproduce it? There were
several pines and hollies on the list. I'd like to have it again,
too.
