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:

Although these plants were as tall as advertised, their width left a lot to be desired. I found plants twice the size at my local Home Depot for $ 19.99. Was a little disappointed.
We're sorry you're not satisfied with your plants. We do note on the website that our plants are young. Your plants should fill out once established in your landscape. It's surprisingly normal for young plants to develope better shape as they grow! This isn't a change you will see in a few weeks, but usually after a few months. Your new plants are in the process of developing a sufficient root system, which will take place before any signs of shoot developement begin to appear. As always, every order is covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please contact claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary. Thank you for your feedback!

Finally got all 5 trees planted; am looking forward to the growth and privacy they will give me from the current view I now have. They arrived in very good shape. Thanks so much.
