I'd also forget conifers, what about laurel, its back in
favour, fast,
evergreen and can be cut back to 2 or 3 ft if you decide
you don't like your
8ft hedge and will not suffer in any way.

I endorse that.
Laurel is eminently controllable, even after a period of
neglect. As a bonus, it offers excellent shelter for birds.

Also golden or silver privet can give a good hedge as can
other of the large
leafed members of the family.

Hi,

Can you recommend the names of some conifers to produce
shielding in a back
garden.
Want them between 5 to 11 foot and to be quick growing.

If you want them to grow quickly to 11 feet, then they will
reach 111 feet quickly.

Sort of worked that out.

And you still insist you want to plant these things?

Yes, I want to plant these things, ok with you?

How big *is* your
garden?

How big is big?

How far from neighbours?

How far is far?

I asked a question, I didn't expect some inquisition.
Sorry for asking a gardening question in a gardening ng.

Oh dear. One thing about newsgroups - anything written goes into archives
others can access. So the information given to you will, in 5 or 12 or 18
years time, be (potentially) available to others. This group is not your
personal, cheap, no-cost information forum though you seem to be trying to
treat us as such.

You're lucky, if only you realised it. Most people here are responsible and
experienced gardeners/nurserymen/designers/professionals. That's why you
were asked the questions (by a professional BTW, whose advice you *could*
have had for free) - mostly for your sake and that of your neighbours' but
partly because all the answers hang around for a lonnnnnnnnng and
undetermined time, as can the consequences of your planting.
Or do you *want* to plant conifers you'll be faced with trimming twice
yearly or letting go to forest tree height in a garden 40 feet square and 3'
from a neighbour's boundary?

Actually you didn't ask a gardening question.
You asked a 'quick fix' question which for most people who garden, is not
gardening. What you were asked was in your own interests. Pity you didn't
see that.
Do as you will - and bugger off.

Hi Chris,
You may wish to consider Yew (Taxus baccata). It is faster growing than
most people realise. It is *the* classic evergreen hedge. It is very
forgiving if badly pruned, unlike most conifers which remain bare and brown
if cut back too hard.
