An opinion:
OK.....one dissenter......Leylandii cypruss makes a beautiful hedge.....had
a neighbour problem and planted one as a shield .........working
perfectly.....have since sold the property and the new owners are in love
with the 'hedge'.......about 25 odd feet tall and still growing......spoke
to the new owners only a few days ago and they have no intention of stopping
its growth.........they just love its beauty........planted some on my
current location and they too are doing fine........suspect/know I would not
plant if I had a mini postage stamp size lot.

OK I can see the consensus is don't plant a Leylandii hedge!!!
If I keep the Hawthorne (which doesn't look nice for a third of the
year...
is there some form of ivy, creeper, evergreen, that I can plant amongst
it????
Any help would be appreciated

I moved home last year and inherited a house with one side (50ft) lined
with
Hawthorne.
Obviously because of the growing seasons this hedge is "See through"
because
its not evergreen. Unfortunately this allows me to see into next door
for
a
third of the year. Plus its not that attractive during this time!
I was thinking of removing it and planting Leylandii .
Leyandii possibly because its quick growing.
Its the only thing I can think of that will replace the hedge
quickly.....
Or does anyone here have any better ideas????
Any help would be appreciated
