Jackie French: Fastest ways to screen your home and garden | The Canberra Times

Unfortunately, after all this time, I could not find anything that is still growing fast, looking beautiful and not a herb. Bamboo looks very beautiful. You will have a perfect screen in about a year. A few decades later, you will have a forest in a neighbor’s garden. The previous owner sewed a small Japanese garden, Azaleas, cherry flower, a small round bridge and a bamboo cluster. Now a broad bamboo plantation and unfortunately the solution proposed by a little child a few months ago – “they need Pet Pandas” – is probably not practical.
