What is the fastest growing shrub for screening?
Leylandii (Cupressocyparis leylandii) is one of the fastest-growing hedging options available, capable of growing up to 3ft per year. It’s a popular choice for quickly establishing a tall, dense privacy screen, though it does require regular maintenance to keep it under control,’ Tim points out. The best privacy trees for backyards include Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae, Leyland Cypress, Eastern Red Cedar, and Hybrid Poplars. These trees grow densely to create living walls that block unwanted views and noise.With growth rates from 3 to 5 feet per year the fastest growing privacy hedges are Thuja Green Giant, Leyland Cypress, Cryptomeria Radicans, and Wax Myrtle. Carolina Sapphire Cypress, Nellie Stevens Holly, Oakland Holly, and Wavy Leaf Ligustrum offer fast privacy with 2 to 3 feet of upward growth per year.
