High hedge for coastal garden
The message
from cormaic contains these words: A contractor colleague has a garden on the western edge of Anglesey, only 100m from the sea, and needs to plant a high hedge to screen an undesirable extension that his neighbour is having built. Whether the extension is undesirable because Barry didn't get the contract to build it, or whether it's just an eyesore is not revealed. Anyway, he asked me to suggest a suitable hedging plant, and I gave the stock answer of 'Escallonia', but, he reckons the hedge needs to be 2-3m in height, and be up at that height by next summer at the latest. So, any suggestions for an evergreen, salt-tolerant, wind-proof, reasonably tall, low-maintenance hedging plant that is readily available and capable of being planted by a man more accustomed to laying sewer pipes than laying hedges would be much appreciated. :~) Griselinia littoralis? It's all those things but not *quite* that fast. In front of it, he could plant a temporary sacrifice-hedge of buddliea cuttings, shouldn't be hard to find a free source; they should reach the desired height next summer, and when the griselinia catches up he can ditch the buddlieas. Janet. |
