Does anybody have suggestions on fast growing screens? I don't mind the
maintenace as long as it provides privacy and is attractive.

If you like gray-green foilage, Russian Olive is another alternative.
We planted 12" sticks (bought in a bundle of 100) and had a six foot

It even has thorns (mostly on the older interior growth) to serve as an
additional deterrent :-).
