Sweet viburnum has big, glossy leaves and fills in quickly to a thick screen. It is a popular choice for tall privacy inland.
It does not like salt spray. Watch for whitefly, scale and mites, which are its main problems.
Expect regular trims to hold it at height, and plan on a bit more care than the tougher hedges.
