Costal Hedging
Hi Guys,
I need to plant a costal hedge, approx 80m. It is 100m approx off the sandy coastline and is very exposed on the west coast of Ireland. Any ideas for me please?
Many Thanks

My first choice was escallonia. Our garden hedge was this down one side and lonicera [small leafed golden one possible nitida] on the other. We were 500m from the promenade on the north east coast. Both did really well.

Thank you guys,
I might look into doing a mix but I am worried about the different growing rates. I will go back to my customer first and see how formal he wants this hedge to be.
Thanks again
