I had an escallonia hedge all around the back of my site (1/2 acre) that has died from disease and especially frost/snow. I want to replace it with an evergreen preferably, as I have copper beech in the front. My neighbor has laurel which has suffered quite a bit from frost. Can you recommend a plant that can cope with an exposed site, heavy frost and is moderately quick growing? Is leylandii really that bad? What about Thuja or viburnum?
