Instant Hedging

Posted by Andy Harrold on July 19, 2015 at 2:24pm in Groundscare, Landscaping, and Plants
Hello,I Iwatched a contractor install what I Ithought was a rather distinctive fence along a roadside for an old folks home. They initially built a large wooden frame fence then attached what I thought was bamboo poles (the large thick type about size of scaffolding poles). It actually looked quite nice and different, however it's now sprouted branches & green leaves, and now looks a fantastic high hedge. I've tried to find what these poles were with no luck. Has anyone seen something similar or know what it is and a supplier? I'd stop for a proper look but there's nowhere suitable on the busy road.

    Possibly a "living fence". Willow usually.

    The poles were roughly 30ft high, much higher & thicker than any willow I've seen.

    Why not drive in, park up and take a photo? I'd love to see this!

    If it's an old people's home you should get a few minutes before you need to do a runner.... :-)
