No tree grows fast to a specific hieght and then just stops.
If you want a small tree, it will grow slowly.
If you want a fast growing tree, it will be big.
At some point it will need to be trimmed/cut back.



Yes but there are, if you don't mind shelling out about 200 quid for a
semi mature tree, a fair few good nurseries like majestic trees in
Hertfordshire and plenty of others, that can supply and plant trees that
break at 6 foot, (so just above hedge height) so you get the trunk below
that and foliage above for privacy.
Lop trees for want of a better term. i got 5 for a customer about month
ago to screen off a caravan next door and it works really well. They
have a fair range of trees bigger and smaller which might be an idea?
