@@ikillprettythingz7947 The price for 6 ft arborvitae at the local nursery is $139 each. Home Depot has them for $75 each. There are 3 HD's about 8 miles away. Only one has them.
You need to inspect each one of them very well before you purchase and plant. lt can be difficult to notice foliage that has started to dry out already because they don't loose their green color at first so the dried out foliage may just look a bit darker green color but that is also a tell tale sign that that particular tree is not going to make it and is already dying. Having worked for years in retail garden centers l can tell you that most garden centers do not give these trees the care they need (if ANY at all) while they sit at the garden center waiting to be purchased and along with people not giving them the proper initial care once they take them home and plant them are the main two reasons that a tree which "seemed" to be ok when purchased dies just a few weeks after being planted. Over the years l've literally planted hundreds of these trees both at the places I've lived but also helping other people who were also planting for the privacy feature of them and l have never once had even one of them die. Always plant at the beginning of fall, not summer, and once spring comes around apply fertilizer and these things will explode with growth and thrive.
I don't like these EG Arbs at all, deer and rabbits destroy them, and they also form multiple leaders so snow and ice can damage them, they also grow very slowly. If you know how to prune, you can eliminate the competing leaders to at least have a better structure. Green Giants and the Nigra Arbs are much better choices, depending on what size you want.
That was way more interesting than I thought it would be
Wow today I realized how much appreciated all the hard work for planting. Trees are like baby’s a living-thing need to care just like HUMANS!!
I got 36 of these bad boys in my yard and they’re about 6 feet tall. Can’t wait till they grow 12 feet tall!
How much did they grow in a year?
@@astonike8383 half a foot I would say. Def an investment not for immediate results
I just planted 10 of these and now 10 more in my yard LOL good bye neighbors
I too plant 10 to provide privacy.
@@mrBDeye that's awesome! I might pull mine out for more mature ones and plant the little Arbs elsewhere 😆 I'm so impatient

@@mrBDeye They're pricy x10..I purchased mine for a total of $50 for 10. On sale 2 for $10 at Lowes but such babies, worth the wait probably 🤣
How much were yours. I got some 5 footers for $52 a piece at lowes ...
Bless up!
Loved the video!, Thank you
🤠💯👍
Oooo ahhhh purty
Id like to do this work if pay is good anyone know where I can check that out
What kind of fertilizer to make them tall quick?
Miracle gro? Maybe?
I planted 130 emerald cedars last month at Hamilton Sikh church(gurudwara). Any advises ? 8 of them turned yellow in 3 weeks
water them
Yeah, not enough water or air in and around the root ball when planted. They have to be watered in good when planting and watered everyday for a wile.
I check my cutting for roots every alternate day😂
Actually you can just take brantch and stick it into soil.
Will they grow good in the great state of Texas?
no its too hot. Try skyrocket juniper
@@cooper8318 yeah but Texas has like four climates. So it depends where
How can I get 25 of the 2 year old trees? I live in PA.
Go to lowes
Home Depot or Lowe’s or Walmart or local nursery.
How long before they are 8 ft
8 years.
I cried
Listen to me - how many feet do they grow every year?
Planting these is like rolling the dice. Most will not make it and just brown and die after three weeks or so. I never know what went wrong.
Lol. You must be doing something seriously wrong then...

@@JA-rn5qv what kind of fertilizer do you recommend? I live in zone 4B if that helps
@@hunterhowden1899 Use evergreen fertilizer, apply after the last frost at the beginning of spring.
The soil went wrong. Add rich well drain soil and you should be good.

LOL...I just heard someone say the exact same thing about the Green Giants and Spring Groves.
That was way more interesting than I thought it would be
