Growing a solid hedge is done often. You are fortunate that yours stayed nice and green. Some browning out happens in my area MI zone 6. These are very common in many yards, so I said "never". That is until I bought & planted the 1st one, then another, and so on. But a used plant is even better yet if a guy can get them! If I ever got the chance for some used I would find some space for a few more..

Very nice job and well explained - all looking good. I'm going to plant the same type of hedge very soon. Here in the UK I am advised that I can leave the hessian wrap (cloth ) and the wire mesh on the root balls when I plant them as they are both de-composable. I am now worried that I should remove them as I think you mentioned. If anyone knows the answer please let me know - I would be very grateful - thanks.

Great video Chris. I planted 7 about 4 ft apart a little over 3 years ago. They were about 5ft tall when I planted them. Unfortunately I have some very intuitive seniors behind me that love peering over the fence to complain about something. Long story short. My trees are about 8ft tall now. I’m just hoping they shoot up soon but I got quite a gap in two of them. Was this a problem you encountered before they filled in all the way? I can send you a photo if that helps.

Never heard of Bagworms until they killed 3 of mine pretty quick it seemed. I basically picked them all off and threw them in the fire pit. You will have to keep an eye out for the ones you missed and go over the tree several times and through the summer. They hang on branch with a silky thread and will suffocate the branches so you should try to remove the threading. I used a small/fine pair of electrician diagnols FWIW. Not sure if there is a holistic remedy but having 2 kids doesn't lend itself to sit down and research it thoroughly. Haven't figured out how to prevent them yet as I was gonna transfer one today but just found out it should be done in the fall. Dunno if it can be done in March and hoping someone has an answer to do so. This nonGreen Thumb could use any and all advice please.

I live in Charlotte NC and we have some pretty bad red clay, hoping it won't be an issue as the previous owners Cryptomeria's were big and beautiful. The only reason i ripped them out was to make room for a putting green. Happy to email you pictures for your thoughts...Thanks!
