What evergreen bush to use as fence?
 

I am thinking about fencing off part of a street by putting up some
evergreen bushes. The street is a 25MPH street, but I am trying to create
more privacy in the yard. Anyone have any recommendation on an evergreen
bush that is hardee and grows fast?

Thanks

I love the look of hemlock, but we've had some problems with them due
to the extreme cold. We're on a mountain side in western New York, and
we get COLD and WINDY. The new plants need protection from the wind,
for maybe 2+ years.

They grow fast and dense.

The deer live to snack on them, but that shouldn't be a problem along
a street.

What about Eugenia bushes? They and grow fairly dense and they give you some
sweet/tart berries also.

I love hemlock's but I wouldn't plant them or recommend them because of
woolly adelgid.
