Best Hedge?

[philcaegrug]

I'm pulling up a hedge too. The old one is some sort of conifer but has been attacked by some sort of blight. The new hedge needs to be about 4 - 5 foot high so far yew is top of the list. Any other suggestions?

Thuja if wanting coniferous as if it's let go it stands a fair chance with a hefty hair cut.

Laurel for cost and same as said above.

Preferences for me are a nice tight yew, hornbeam or beech. Especially when both sides can be trimmed tapered in at the top.

Be fun cutting that down and chipping it when the time comes😢

Ive always liked the idea of a eucalyptus or blue cedar hedge both would be interesting I reckon the eucalyptus could work with regular cutting

Wild privet? Or common privet? Nice thick hedges, good for wildlife, grow quickly, nice flowers, tough... Do have to trim fairly regularly though.
