Default What to plant along our driveway

Hi,

I am looking for a suitable tree species to plant along our driveway (300-400m). What would be suitable for our area?

- We are in the western brisbane/Ipswich area.
- The area originally was scrub land before it was cleared. (Wattles being to most predominate presently of the tree type i know)
- We like the look of the trees in toowoomba but uderstand they are a pest. (Camphor Laurel)
- I would have loved to plant the fig trees I have acquired but am worried about the inundation of bats would get if I planted ~25 of them.
- Would perfer something that would grow quickly (at least to a reasonable height)
- Other large trees in the area include Figs and Crows Ash
- Canopy spread is not an issue
- Most importantly, want something that will frame our driveway and be a feature of our property

Thanks
Gerbz

How long are you going to live there, and how soon do you want reasonable height?
