Pyracantha is probably better. It's a real swine to cut through. The
real trouble is that the OP needs something instant.


In the real world if they could afford Pyracantha all round the
allotments they wouldn't worry about loosing a few odds and ends of
tools etc..
If you are going for a hedge then Hawthorn bought by the thousand bare
rooted. Offers security as well as flowers for bees etc and fruit for
the birds also nesting sites as it matures.


Rosa rugosa is another vicious contender!
