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

Leylandii is still one of the most popular hedging plants, it is easy to
maintain and controllable as long as you trim it regularly, it *will*
grow 2-3 ft per yr but nothing else will touch it for growing a dense
screen quickly.
