Can you recommend an evergreen tree suitable for a seaside area that can grow up to 20-30ft? I would like to screen off an neighbours extension that overlooks my garden. Ideally, a fast growing tree would be great! My garden isn't very big.

I have cleared off the weeds from this slope pictured. Can you suggest some plants(flowers & shrubs) which would have an immediate colorful impact. Are there any colorful plants which provide good ground cover also.

I planted this about 4 years ago without knowing anything about it. Now having read horror stories on the internet about its invasive habit I am anxious to get rid of it. I started to dig it up but cannot get to the end of its long tap root. Whats the best way to get rid of it.
