How to Plant Evergreens for Hedging

Though specific directions will vary from tree to tree, knowing your growing zone is an important first step. After you’ve determined your growing zone, keep sunlight and watering needs in mind for your Evergreens for Hedging. Most will prefer full sun to partial sun (anywhere from 4 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) and well-drained soil, but check the directions for the specific Evergreens you've purchased.

Your fertilizing and pruning needs will vary as well, but many of our Evergreens do not require pruning unless you'd like to shape them.

From there, select an area with well-drained soil, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the tree’s root ball (along with some extra width for mature growth), place your tree and backfill the hole. Finish by watering the surrounding soil and mulching to conserve moisture for your hedging.

How to Space Evergreens for Hedging

Keep in mind the mature height and width of your Evergreen Trees, and plant them away from sidewalks, power lines and structures for best results.

For spacing and privacy purposes, your ideal hedging will depend on the space you have. For smaller spaces, we suggest going with a smaller tree. Larger trees will need more spacing and room to grow.
