This would be a wonderful idea for a video:a power-point presentation of these plants that have matured in your neighborhood.

@joydavis4087 Год назад

Also, I planted about 50 feet of curved privet as an evergreen screen. I read that it’s invasive, but I have not had that issue. I haven’t looked at junipers because of their slow growth. I am interested in the needle holly. Does it grow faster than Nelly Stevens? Also oak hollies, can you give us some info on oak hollies? Thx ❤

@joydavis4087 Год назад

Does the Nelly Stevens require male and female to produce berries. Do you sell both? Also my Nelly Stevens seems to be a little leggy, should I try to trim it up to encourage it to thicken up?

@seemas5811 3 года назад

Great video! I’m planning to plant some green giants and hollies as a privacy screen. Do you think I can plant them both together like two of green giants together and then Nellie Stevens hollies alternating? Please guide me on how to do this project. I like Both type of trees.

@batesnursery 3 года назад

You absolutely can alternate Green Giants and Nellie Stevens holly. Just be sure to do your research as to how wide each of these get, you don't want to crowd them too close together. Green Giants and Nellie Stevens both get about 10-12' wide, so you'd want to space the trees about 10-12' apart when planting.

@timmbos 3 года назад

Excellent video. Building a new house and looking to screen out our only neighbor. I already planted several Awabuki Viburnums and Japanese Privet. Any others that are fast, tall and full I could purchase that you didn't mention in the video? Thank you so much!

@batesnursery 3 года назад

If speed is a priority, Eleagnus or Needlepoint Holly would be good options for fast-growing and tall hedges. Hope this helps!

@edithpiaf9250 Год назад

Southeastern NC: I have 4' chain link, next to the house on either side, parallel with the road, total of about 20'. I don't need the plants to be too tall, as it would overpower the small house. I would like it to screen the fence. Would a particular bush be good, or would a vine be more practical? Thanks!

@batesnursery Год назад

Check out crossvine if you don't mind a beautiful semi evergreen blooming vine growing across your chainlink! Other wise most boxwoods or yew or compacta holly would do the trick.

@rangerswife2176 Год назад

My house is about 30 feet from a dusty dirt road. I have 300 feet of road frontage. Which hedge would you recommend? I’m in zone 6b

@batesnursery Год назад

If you get at least 6 hours of sun in that location, Green Giant arborvitae all the way. Fast growing, tall, strong screening plants that will get huge. Not to mention they will stop some of that dust. Plant them 15ft apart or set back a row just behind to fill the gaps. You'll need about 20 or so to cover that distance. You could also utilize faster growing "green wall" junipers like Brodie to get similar coverage.

@rangerswife2176 Год назад

@@batesnursery thank you for those two suggestions. I heard that dear will eat as far as they can reach up the plant. Have you found that to be a problem?

@batesnursery Год назад

@@rangerswife2176 In some cases deer can do that to arborvitae yes, but they'll usually leave the juniper alone. If you suffer from a lot of deer activity would recommend the Juniper instead.

@rangerswife2176 Год назад

@@batesnursery thank you so much. I will go with the juniper then! Looking forward to learning so much from you. 🌸

@BadScorpio Год назад

I have 72 feet, I’m looking for something around 4-5 tall that create a screen from my neighbors yard. 4-6 hours sun. Is there something you can recommend? We were thinking Yew or Needlepoint holley…

@batesnursery Год назад

Dense yew would make a great hedge, it gets fairly wide and is very hardy.

@Frank020 2 года назад

This is really good. Repeated. Narrower fast grow 2 story neighbors. In a 1 story. 1/2 backyard. Zone 8 b- 9?⭐

@batesnursery 2 года назад

Taylor Juniper for tall narrowness. If you're zone 8-10 then Italian Cypress might be available. Up to 40ft tall, 4 ft wide. Grows 3 ft/yr.

@BadScorpio Год назад

What’s the spacing on the needlepoint holley?

@batesnursery Год назад

If you're wanting a wall, 6-8ft spacing might be the way to go. They can get 5-10 feet wide.

@suegoetz1221 Год назад

what zone are you in?

@missdeeva2266 2 года назад

Those Emerald Green just don't grow fast and many I've seen brown out on one side and look like crap

@Carl-iw9sy Год назад

It depends where you live. Here in the north east they do great. My understanding is that many arborvitaes don't perform well further south.

@loulettiero8318 2 года назад

When you say to plant green giant is it 8feet on center

@bluenavy22 2 года назад

what would be good for screening sound from the street? thanks. i do have 4 hrs or more sun.

@batesnursery 2 года назад

Dense evergreens with tighter foliage and many branches like yew or arborvitae help with sound.

@joydavis4087 Год назад

Also, one more question and I’ll quit commenting.😊 I’m looking for evergreen shrub to use as understory in the shade and part shade.

@karenbates1055 2 года назад

What about in Pa ? For road noise

@batesnursery Год назад

Most of these varieties will work in PA, but you might need to plant a few rows to significantly reduce the noise. Consider planting another tree slightly behind but in-between the two to cover the gap in the front row. It will make a big difference and help fill in the screen faster.

@karenbates1055 2 года назад

What can I plant in Pa. To drown out road noise

@batesnursery 2 года назад

Any large evergreen that will survive in your grow zone.

@Carl-iw9sy Год назад

I'm also in PA and my understanding is that plants aren't good at blocking sound but for privacy from the street I planted Green Giant arborvitaes and they took off fast in full sun (planted about 7 years ago @6.5' tall, now @25'+ tall). For a smaller area I used an Emerald Green arborvitae which is also doing great in full sun (planted about 8 years ago @ 4' tall, now 12-15' tall).

@TrishLewis-zo2rn Год назад

I wish you'd held up the Elaeagnes and just said "Invasive. Don't plant." Our woods and wildlife rely on nurseries to demonstrate environmental ethics.

@batesnursery Год назад

We also carry plenty of native junipers that would fill the niche perfectly. Our nursery only carries the hybridized Elaeagnus x ebbingei "Silverberry" and "Gilt Edge" cultivars that are not considered invasive. Of course, it's still a non-native plant and proper considerations should be taken when selecting the right specimen at other nurseries.
