Hedging & Screening Trees — Privacy & Fast-Growing Varieties

Looking for the right hedging tree for privacy, screening or a formal hedge? Browse Australia's largest range of hedge and screen trees, with varieties suited to every climate, soil type and garden style.

How to choose the right hedging tree:

  • Growth rate — Fast growers like Lilly Pillies and Ficus reach screening height in 2-3 years. Slower growers like Pittosporum give denser, lower-maintenance hedges.
  • Mature height — Match the tree to the screen you need: 2-3m for a low privacy hedge, 4-6m for fence-line screening, 6m+ for full neighbour blocking.
  • Climate suitability — Tropical/sub-tropical buyers should consider Syzygium varieties. Cool-climate buyers do better with Photinia, Camellia or Pittosporum.

Top hedging picks: Lilly Pillies (best all-rounder), Ficus Hillii (fastest), Pittosporum Silver Sheen (lowest maintenance), Magnolia Teddy Bear (formal feature hedge).

Frequently asked questions

What's the fastest-growing hedge in Australia?

For a dense screen, plant 60-80cm apart for small varieties and 1-1.5m apart for larger varieties.

What's the best evergreen hedge for privacy?
For dense year-round privacy, Lilly Pilly Resilience or Pittosporum Silver Sheen are reliable choices across most of Australia.
