Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

Arrives as young plant
Learn the best times to plant arborvitae, how to prevent winter burn, whether you should trim them, and everything else you need to know to grow them like a pro.
I let them rest as directed, Roots looked good, I planted them and I am hoping for good growth throughout the years. 4 stars because I haven't seen growth yet. I will update next spring.
The healthy trees (sprouts) that arrived have survived two weeks. The 4 that arrived looking parched didn’t survive the planting and were too small to become toothpicks. I was thinking they would all be a little bigger for the price. Generally, a good (and learning) experience.

Arrived fast, and plants were packaged well and healthy.
Hoping they both grow as quickly as it states as a fast grower. Very pretty so far.
I ordered 15 of these last year, a little disappointed in the small size, but the quality was amazing! Bright green, very supple! They all made it through the winter here in mid-Michigan and have grown about 8-12”. I am going to order 12 more to intersperse with the originals in a second row to add more privacy. I just love them! 💗
