Thanks for your response. Would these have most of the growth in the upper
part as i still need to access the fence which is 6ft tall

Hi,
I've had trouble with people throwing stones over
my fence from the park behind and i'm looking at
using plant / tree foliage to obstruct the view
from the park. I have some things planted already
(ie red robin) which seem to work effectively but now need to fill in the
gaps where there is a clear view over the 6ft fence.

Can anyone please recommend what to plant. Ideally grows to a maximum of
8-9 ft with most of the growth between the 6ft and 9ft area. I would like
as little growth as possible below 6ft. The width of the 2 areas are 10ft
and another 15ft. They would need foiliage all year round obviously and
ideally readily available at graden centres in the UK. If it helps, i'm
in Bedfordshire.

Thanks for any assistance.

Paul


As Rhiannon says Holly is a pretty good choice. Plenty to choose from
with different sorts of foliage.
You might consider Laurel or Aukuba which would both do a good job.
The natural habit is to grow as a bush/big shrub but you can remove the
lower branches and grow them more as a standard tree which does take time.
I am struggling to think of any ordinary evergreen tree that will fulfil
your wishes. There are a few exotic things I can think of but they would be
slow and pretty expensive.
