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:

I bought six sting arborvitae. Maybe 7. But they were all six inches in height. If I remember correctly, they would ship at 6” to 12”. For once I would like to have trees shipped at the larger size.
Beautiful, well packaged, healthy plants 🪴
Healthy little plants, well packed!
Every thing got here well packed and moist. Put all 24 of the Sting arborvitae in their spots after a good soak. Summer is hot, windy and dry so I am watering them quite constantly. They are strugling right allong but doing well as expected.
These came in great shape last fall and I planted them temporarily in the front bed to winter over until this spring. Unfortunately, the bunnies ate the leaves off them right down to the bark this spring, leaving just the trunk on both. I’m hoping they might come back. Planted them in the backyard where there is a sturdy fence and few bunnies due to an alley cat that claims that backyard as her territory. Hoping they will come back!
