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:

The start of fall may signal the gardening season is coming to a close, but it’s not over yet! There is still plenty of time to enjoy colorful flowers and foliage or even sprinkle in some new perennials and shrubs before winter arrives.
I ordered 3 Stonehenge Yews, and they came well packed and protected with great instructions. I called with a fertilizer question, and they were well-informed and friendly. The yews are all thriving in their new home!
i planted 4 of these three summers ago, and only one of them ever showed signs of growth. then this spring, the 3 that were struggling turned brown & died. the other one is still no more than 6" tall, but it is at least alive with new growth on it. i really love the idea of these but don't dare chance it again; would the "skinny" be a better option? thx!

I purchased 12 of these last yr. Some are thriving while others didn't come back.

I ordered two of these Stonehenge Yews, plus several of the Stonehenge Skinny Yews. They've all been in the ground for a couple of months now. The Skinnies have put on new growth and are filling out, but the regular Stonehenge Yews look healthy but little to no new growth. Hopefully they'll start growing soon.
Hello! Thank you for leaving feedback. When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed, they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, in the second year, they have more energy to put into growth; and in the third year, they grow vigorously. We hope this helps. Happy Gardening!
The 3 evergreens arrived healthy and once planted continued to look healthy. They are little plants, so we will see how they weather our MN winter!
