Leighton Green conifers, aka "The Spite Hedge". They grow pretty fast, especially if you fertilise them and keep them watered. They are fast growers and if planted no more than two metres apart they will form a pretty solid green hedge in the future. I planted seven from Bunnings, along one boundary a couple of years ago and they are close to five metres tall now, well above the fence and are cutting down nusiance lighting already. I am going to start lopping the tops to force them to close up the gaps and form a proper hedge. If you let them get away from you they can get really big, like 10metres tall. You can get advanced versions if you can't wait for them to grow, but that can get expensive.
