Other options are Cleyera


Would second Cleyera, there are some nice variegated varieties and they don't get quite as monstrous as the other suggestions.

Burford holly is a good choice for a security hedge.

Lorapetalum is another option (white & purple, there are dwarf varieties too) and Pittosporum Tobira (the blooms smell like citrus).

I'd stay away from eleagnus (invasive & thorny as heck) and osmanthus (seems to have a leggy habit compared to others suggested).

Your best bet for speed is probably the viburnum. I've seen a video where sweet viburbum went from 3 gal -> 10+ ft in about 16 months. They are FAST. Just keep in mind that they grow 40-50 ft vs. 20-25ft on the others.

I'd look into hollys. Lots of varieties. Grow fast and I couldn't kill mine if I tried.
