I have a new housing development being built behind me in which
they raised the terrain 14' fronm the original topography
behind my fence. I am looking for a fast growing plant to use
as a hedge for privacy. Is bamboo a viable alternative and how
fast will it grow. I will need to plant a area about 40' wide.
How many plants
would it take and any source in Seattle area. Thanks.

Check the "Source List" on the ABS web page.
