Could somebody explain to the Holly in my neighbours garden that it is
supposed to grow slowly? It keeps on pushing its way through the fence and
it aint arf sharp on the leaf spikes!

Datstest grwires are...leylandii.

You might try bay if you want a fast growing evergreen

Or bay laurel.

Even yew is not that slow - 4"-8" a year.

Don't plant holly. You will be dead before it grows and box is another
slow grower too.,
