Hi! We have a very overgrown plant in our office but no one knows what it is, is it possible to tell with these images? Thought they were something like dracena marginata. Thanks!

Help identifying shrub
Question from
In forum: Identify a plant
Hi all
Recently came across an established evergreen shrub. It’s been kept to about 5ft, haven’t seen it flower. I'm inclined to think it’s a type of escallonia but the leaves are bigger than other escallonia i’m familiar with. It’s thornless and has berries similar to a berberis, hope someone can help.
thanks for your time

It looks like a field mallow, but taller. It attracts bees strongly in summer, but I don't know its name.

Thuja Plicata Atrovirens or Thuja Plicata Martin
Question from
In forum: Trees and shrubs
I am looking for privacy trees, as I have some flats overlooking my back garden.
I have narrowed the trees I want to either 1) Thuja Plicata Atrovirens or 2) Thuja Plicata Martin, but am confused on which of these to go for. I would like answers to my questions below to decide.
Questions:
1) Which of these is the quickest growing?
2) What is the maximum height each of these trees can reach?
3) Keen to avoid cleaning leaves and trees waste. Do shred bark or cones?
4) How many trees would I need to plant to cover 17m?
I would greatly appreciate some advice.
