A Worcesterberry then? ;-) Even if the berries just go for the
birds.

This one sounds interesting, but is it evergreen, and does it grow
quickly?

You didn't say anything about evergreen! No it's not, but it forms quite
a dense bush. Probably a tad more vigorous than say hawthorn, so pretty
quick growing, although I've no experience of it as a hedge plant.

Too late I know, but thought it was worth completing the thread.
