Thanks, I planted 12 for screening. I hope they get to 15 feet.
You should get to 15ft with no problem
Best way to prune these to encourage more vertical growth? ( prune around the base?) Do it on December and January when I prune my other trees?
Thank you ❤️🤗
Thanks!
Thank you for mentioning the older leaves losing color, as mine are doing just that while they're going through their spring defoliation, and it's made me so nervous. I did just put down some Holly Tone (I missed the fall/winter application, and perhaps this is why the leaves have lost color). Hoping the leaves green-up soon! Thank you for this video. 🙂
Thanks for watching. Your new growth should flush out very green.
How many feet apart on center were these planted? Great video!
I would have to go measure to be exact but off the top of my head they are at either 8ft or 10ft. Regardless they would grow into a hedge at either of those distances.
@@Dr.Warren Just about everywhere online says to plant them 5ft apart for a privacy hedge but that just seems too close to me so I planted mine at 10ft apart two years ago. Your hedge is exactly the look that I'm going for so it confirms I made the right decision. Thank you!
Great information and those trees look great. I just planted mine. I think it is a 7 gal. Should i water in the winter/fall?
Saturate once a week if you don't get rain.
@@Dr.Warren thanks a lot!
Hi there! I need to plant these across my back fence for a privacy screen. It seems that the typical recommendation is to plant them 6' apart. Should they be planted further apart if I hope for them to reach a 20' height? Thanks!
No, I can think of several examples in my neighborhood where these are used as screens. All the mature ones were planted 6-8 ft apart and they are all in the 15-25ft range.
@@Dr.Warren Thank you so much for the information and quick reply!
@@Dr.Warren If I wanted a hedge on a quicker timeline and planted them 5-1/2 feet apart, would that limit the height they could get? Would they most likely max out at 15 feet tall (or less)?
@@Dr.Warren❤
I have 25 that were planted 4 years ago. They have only grown about 1 foot. They are space 3 ft apart. What can I do to increase their growth rate? They are healthy but very slow growing. I have been using holly tone twice a year.
Check your pH with a soil test and make sure they get full sun for max growth.
20' is the max height? I thought taller. How old are those ones? Thanks for the info.
I used to sell plants for Monrovia and they have a great database that is pretty accurate. They have it listed as 15-25.

Watering?
Once established they are VERY drought tolerant. I've never watered mine outside of the first few months of being planted
