Hi! My new greenhouse is being placed in the garden and will be exposed to a lot of wind. I want to plant a windbreak on the south and west sides. I want something:

1) FAST GROWING
2) Hardy to zone 5
3) OK in full sun
4) Preferably evergreen and with berries
5) 8-12' tall (no taller) that requires little pruning

I don't mind something wild looking. Fast growing is a must since the greenhouse MUST be shielded if I'm to enjoy it year-round.

All help is appreciated - I know nothing about shrubs.

Many thanks,
Alison
