    I can't post images. Basically a square front garden. Terraced house-low dividing wall :-)

    They can get very tall if left so you'd need to prune regularly

    As long as it's on your side of the wall/fence you can plant all the hedges you like.

    Weeping willows grow into very large trees, just so you know.

    Are you looking for something tall or short? Bushy or more 'architectural'? Flowers? Spikes? What kind of colour would you like?
