i'm not familiar with that plant... but, hang in there, someone is sure to have a suggestion for you!

Well if that plant isn't going to do any harm - dig roots into cables or wires, or carry pesty fungus or anything like that, I'd say go ahead and put it in there.
It's your property.

I expected a barrage of anti-lelandii posts, obviously a British thang.
So far I've discovered Hornbeam, but Im not sure.

What about laurel?

What about just building a better fence?

Good point but kinda want to grow things.
Laurel is good but I dont think it makes a nice hedge (IMO) thanks anyway

Cheers,
I think its gonna be a contest between Hornbeam and the golden lelandii.
Its a north facing fence so its gonna be shady.
I can buy the hornbeam at 4-5' tall.
Any thoughts?

Another avenue may be to use evergreen climbers/vines to cover the fence.
Anyone got any recommendations on such plants to cover a north facing fence?

Search The Garden Helper:
I have a north facing fence which is unsightly and is soon to have housing built behind it.
I need to cover the fence and probable add some height for privacy etc.
I need something fast growing as Im unlikely to stay in the property for more than 5 years.
Previously Ive grown lelandi as hedge but it seems frowned upon, anything else that grows as fast, as well and (as cheap)
