Probably a bit late into this thread but I would cross box off the list
as if you get Box blight it defoliates them and it looks awfull!


Not at all late

OK - didn't know that - Box is off. Bit slow growing anyway (I'd like a
hedge in less than 10 years starting with tiny cheap saplings).


IME box isn't that slow-growing.



I was going by the online nursery guide that said around 10-15cm/year.
