Trees, Shrubs and Conifers: Suggest a "screening" evergreen for me!, 0 by HoosierGreen

The fastest growing evergreen for your situation (and fitting your description as I understand it) would be 'Green Giant' arborvitae. After the first year, they grow 3'-5' per year, reaching 50' in height and about 10' in width. You can Google for more information. You didn't say anything about deer being a problem, but this type of arborvitae is supposed to be avoided by deer, unlike other ones. I know you can get small plants cheaply, but they are also available from nurseries starting at about 3'. Lots of sources on-line. They are very hardy, too. I've used them in landscaping jobs, and they make an ideal screen. Every time I've used them, the homeowners are very happy with them and can't believe the quick growth.
