I need to have a row of shrubs to cover a length of approx 16 foot eventual height approx 7' to go right next to a 5' high boundray wall to cut down traffic noise and sheild our garden from prying eyes.
I dont really want to start with a 12" high plant and wait 5 years for it to grow big enough - what can I buy that is close to the height I want to end up with bearing in mind practicalities like planting and ensuring it doesnt die etc.
Also, what plant is best?? I'm thinking laurel but my wife doesnt like it
finally whilst I'm after 7 foot high eventually, I dont want it bushing out too much in width.
any help for a non green gingers person welcomed
