Best easy to grow 3 metre hedges

What hedges are best if you want something that grows easily and reaches about three metres in height? Or do hedges just keep growing in general?

"Most hedges grow high. It’s about maintaining a hedge to keep it to the night required"

"Either laurel or leylandi grow the quickest at about 1m per year but yes most hedges will grow tall enough if tended to correctly"

"Hi Angie I think one of the best hedges to get to 3m high is Laurel. If it gets too big it can be cut back to any required width or height unlike conifers where you have to leave some green leaves. Laurel is quite hardy and can be brought in pots 2 to 3m high.
All healthy shrubs will just keep getting bigger including hedges.

"Most hedges will just keep growing but if you keep on top off it you shouldn’t have a problem"

"They just generally grow naturally if am right, don’t know if you could purchase a specific plant already at that height maybe check local garden centres"
