What are the fastest-growing hedges and trees?

When acquiring a new home with a beautiful garden, you have to think of ways of how to fence it in order to have good privacy and intimacy inside your home and also outside. There are those who prefer to surround it with stone or concrete walls, but there are also people who choose other types of more natural methods.

One way to fence a garden is with hedges and also if trees are added you will still get much more privacy, for this reason, it is interesting to know which are the hedges and the trees that grow faster to know that in a short time you will have a beautiful natural wall that will protect you from prying eyes. Do you want to know what some of them are?

Some considerations to keep in mind

If you are looking for fast-growing trees or hedges you should choose those that will grow at least a meter tall in a year, otherwise, they would be too small. Evergreen trees and hedges are the most suitable as both their leaves and branches grow throughout the year and will offer you total privacy.

There are also hedges that can measure more than three meters high and almost two meters wide, so you can have a good hedge that gives you great privacy.

Cypress

Cypress is a very fast-growing tree that is great for privacy in your home. Normally it is planted to accompany concrete or stone walls, but being so high they provide great privacy for people who have them in their garden.

In addition to being very common in Spain (you can see them in cemeteries and large farms) they also provide excellent protection against the wind throughout the year, since it is also evergreen. A large cypress can reach great heights.

Privet

There are many species of Privet but if you like it, you should choose the one that is more resistant and that grows faster (you can see an example in the cover photo of this article). These plants can bring you pretty flowers in spring and summer, but they have a pretty big drawback: they attract bees and wasps. But so that this does not happen, you will have to prune the hedge before the flowers arrive.

The Privet grows up to three and a half meters tall and can also be up to two meters wide with a very compact structure.
