Need to screen view into neighbours conservatory What
Rick1/3/04 10:57
Dear Subscribers, The front side facet of my conservatory looks directly into my neighbours conservatory and I wish to screen this off (obscure glass is inappropriate) with some kind of reasonably quick growing narrow type evergreen (conifer perhaps). The tree/shrub needs to be narrow as I don't want the leaves/branches to encroach on my conservatory. The distance from the side of my conservatory to my neighbours boundary which is controlled by a 5 foot high fancy see through block brick wall is about 3 foot. I would like to control the height of the tree/shrub to about 8 foot but keep the body narrow. You could grow a beech hedge which will retain its leaves if it's kept to that height. They'll go brown but won't fall off. Another possibility is yew but avoid leylandii, whatever you do. They do grow fast but they grow very bushy, too. Aucuba and laurel are other possibilities and so is Escallonia if you live in a mild area. That grows quite quickly but will need to be trimmed into a hedge, as will anything in such a space. Lastly, look at this site for Eucalyptus - fast growing, evergreen and lovely if kept short because they retain the juvenile foliage. The Nursery has a well deserved good reputation: www.eucalyptus.co.uk/ -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |
