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).
