Acacias (ie wattle family) are mostly fast to very fast growing. A
little
research will identify the species (of the hundreds) that will suit your
area and grow the size that you want. They are usually quite cheap.
Some
species are short lived giving up after 5-10 years (but not all) and by
then
you can have some other long lived species coming along. Try your
nearest
forestry nursery for good advice and economical seedlings.

I love wattles, I got them in my front and backyard. They grow fast indeed
and
look lovely even when not in flower. Some of my grevilleas have grown a lot
taller and quicker than expected as well.
