    Hey guys,

    We're wanting a tree for out the front to block people from seeing in as they walk past.

    Wanting an evergreen, fairly quick grower, and cheap-ish!

    Here's a tree that is in a neighbours garden - thats an evergreen - does anyone know what it is?

    Eucalyptus, and think very carefully before you plant one is my advice, as in their native country, they grow like a weed.

    But it does survive on little nutrients/care etc, but it does shed loads of leaves!

    Hope this Helps!

    Hi Small flower,

    As plant1star said it's a Eucalyptus. I'd also advise you to consider carefully about planting one in your front garden. they can grow quite large and leggy, leaving you with little cover where you want it in the future.
