..actually I wouldn't go for Beech...not next to a house...not for me that one.. and I might think twice about Holly, I'm not sure about their root systems.. others might know more...
I'm a big fan of these Pyracanthas! I looked at 'orange glow' as suggested - my only question is I'm seeing different growth rates on every website - some say quick, others say slow. In your experience how quickly do these grow? One site said 50cm per year which would be fantastic
..50cm sounds about right to me.... I wouldn't call them slow growers, but neither do they grow as if they've got a rocket up..well you know where... you don't want anything overwhelming... think about it... take your time from the choices available, costs etc... whatever you choose...if they arrive as container grown plants,...you must keep the hedge well watered until established..that is, for the rest of summer... I take it you've got a hose...?

I have a Pyracatha hedge made up of red, yellow and orange berried plants, in the autumn it looks fantastic!
