you could also try clump forming bamboo this is evergreen will not grow too
wide and can be cut to size when it gets to the height required and will
thicken up over time to create a great screen, but make sure you get clump
forming or it will spread to fill the garden with it,
i am growing it in tubs as a livng screen that i can move from place to
place,

Thanks for the suggestion but we did try willow screen and it wasn't
approved of by the neighbours!

Expensive too!
