Juniper Privacy Screen
Hi,
We will be planting some 3 foot junipers as a privacy screen /
windbreak. The spread for these trees is 8-15 ft. We do not want to
wait until the trees mature for privacy. I am thinking that planting
them 5-6 ft apart will give me a decent appearance within a few years.
My questions are by not allowing for the full spread what kind of
problems am I looking at down the road? Cosmetic or will they injure
the trees? How long will it take for the trees to reach the estimated
spread? We are looking at junipers vs aboritas because of the fruit
attraction for birds.
If I allow for the full spread and plant 8-15 ft apart are there
"filler" plants that I can use that will keep up with but not overtake
the junipers?
