A fast growing plant to give me privacy.
I would very much welcome some advice as to what sort of plant would create a quick growing screen to give me some privacy. A friend suggested Clematis or Honeysuckle plants grown on trellis is a good option for speedy growth to block the view of the twenty windows that now look directly into my garden. I want to block the invasive view of the newly built estate at the back of where we live. The area is shaded by a Walnut tree and the developers put a six foot fence along my boundary which will protect new plants from wind. So any suggestions would be welcome.

Bamboo looks great and is a fantastic fast growing screen.
Just make sure you read up on them and fit a containment trench first so they don't take over...
I await the forum outcry re planting bamboo.....
It's fine, just plant a couple of pandas beside the bamboo and you are good to go!
Grows quick for sure , but not to great to look at iirc .
Ha ha both bamboo and Russian vine will take over the plot with not very good appearance . Had them both and was a nightmare every year clipping back. RV as I can remember grew at least ten foot on a year and the weight cost me a new fence
have since took to honeysuckle which can be kept at bay and have a beautiful climbing yellow rose that is fantastic
happy gardening
I have had three clumps of bamboo in for nearly four years, it hasn't spread, I am waiting for it to grow some canes for me?
it isn't very tall either, only just six ft now.

Brilliant!

My advice would be. DON'T EVEN THINK OF PLANTING RUSSIAN VINE. EVER.
