"Spider" wrote in message ... 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. Thanx for the reply. Spider Chris S wrote in message ... 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. Thanx |

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. -- Sacha (remove the weeds to email me) |
