Good god man now your asking lol lol the only thing i can say with any certainty is that we would want bout 7 ft cover as for soil i would have to try n find out

 

Try eleagnus x ebbingei - grows very fast, is evergreen, tough as old boots and you get lovely tiny fragrant flowers in autumn (and fruit this time of year if you're lucky).

 

excellent thank you very much ive looked into it and seems you can buy small ones and more established which would you reccomend or is it just a case of the more established will be taller etc

 

@Nash It's just a case of how quickly you want to fill the gap - if you want to do it quickly then I'd suggest buying a more mature one. They are relatively cheap to buy as well That link does a 10L (1m-1.25m) one for £18.99 plus VAT (plus delivery if you're spending less than £50).
