Hi,

I would like to plant two privacy hedges in Zone 5a/5b. I have been reading articles, but not finding many Canadian ones, and I would like to use native plants if possible. I am getting confused and would appreciate help from anyone who has experience in this.

Like everyone else fast growing is a major plus, but I have not height restrictions to put limitation on possibilities. I have tried to list requirements of each hedge below.

Hedge 1.
Evergreen,
Fast growing (obviously - lol. :) )
Salt tolerant (next to main highway)
Full sun, wind exposure
Deer resilient
15 - 40 ft height
No width barrier. (Min 100 ft to closest building)
Length: 800 ft

Hedge 2.
Evergreen,
Super fast growing (thinking Jack and the Beanstalk fast - haha)
Full sun, some wind exposure
Deer resilient
Horse friendly (neighbour has horse farm)
NO max height. 50ft plus would be great, 100ft ideal!!!!
No width barrier. (Min 100 ft to closest building)
Length: 1,400 ft

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

H.
