We tried photinia as a windbreak. It seems to have done a pretty good job in
the 2 years that it has been in. Has anyone else tried it? If, with what luck?

I have a wind funnel at the side of my house and I want to do something
about it. Currently I have a 6' wooden palisade fence across the wide
entrance to the funnel fronted by some young Leylandii.

I caught part of GQT today where they were talking about Jerusalem
Artichoke as a very quick and effective hedge that wouldn't get too
tall. Checking up, JA isn't suitable for my case because I want it still
to be there during winter.

But it got me thinking. Surely there is a fast-growing, self-limiting,
low-maintenance, good-looking, all-seasons, six-foot hedge plant out
there?
