The word "quickset" derives from the Old English term "cwicsett," which means "a living fence," and is comprised of the Old English words "cwic," meaning "alive," and "sett," meaning "a setting."
A quickset is a type of live fence consisting of growing shrubs or small trees that have been planted close together to create a dense barrier. Quicksets are often used as a hedge between fields or gardens, or as a screen for privacy.
Quicksets have a long history of use in Europe, dating back to the Middle Ages. They were initially used to mark boundaries between properties and to provide protection against animals and intruders. Over time, quicksets became increasingly popular for ornamental purposes, and the practice of planting them for aesthetics spread throughout Europe and North America. Today, quicksets continue to be widely used for both practical and decorative purposes, and they remain an important feature of many landscapes.
