Newbie needs fast growing shrub/hedge with no flowers for boundary wall.

Yes, Charlie, I had read about the leaf blight problem in some places.
I don't know if it is affecting areas in Scotland yet e.g. Ayrshire
where Eloise lives, but so far I may be lucky in not appearing at the
moment to have a problem with my hedge in Dundee.

I live just off the Ayrshire coast and have seen no problems in
escallonia here.

There are tight-pruned escallonia hedges here which produce very little
flower. In any case since escallonia flowers are tube-shaped I'd think
very little pollen would be emitted (if that's what she's worried about).
It would certainly be a lot faster (and cheaper) than yew..
