Hello everyone,
I am currently planting Green Giant Thuja's along my fence line. My space is wide enough for one row but not for two staggering rows. So my question is how close can they be planted next to each other without causing growth issues? Right now I have them eight feet apart, it seemed like a good idea due to their spread. However I only planted them for privacy, which won't be accomplished unless I can get at least 6 foot wall above my fence (6ft). I came across a business nearby that has theirs spaced ten foot and it seems this may be futile.
With that being said if I planted more they obviously would end up being four foot apart. If that won't work what do you guys think about alternative between giants and emeralds? I wasn't sure if being more narrow might work out.
I appreciate the help!
