    Willow, put some prunings in the ground, right now, and a good 75% will root.

    Leyland Cyprus will put on about 2' or 3' a year and you'll not get much faster than that apart from Willow as Pete suggests. You really need to say where and why you want a fast growing tree as there are so many different options depending on your specific situation - do you want a single tree or a trees for a privacy boundary?
