Leylandii vs. Thuja
Hi All
We planted rows of Leylandii under the fence facing private street this summer. As thefence is quite long, we needed about 20 Leylandiis, but even with that, about couple short to finish off the hedging. So we planted Thuja Plicatas(we had these from months ago in large pots..) alongside Leylandii. Now Leylandii has grown about a foot during the summer, but Thuja has not grown that much. Would this be problem later? We thought Thuja and Leylandii have similar growth speed, but arethey really? cheers Dan |

The message
from "DLee" contains these words: Hi All We planted rows of Leylandii under the fence facing private street this summer.

Would this be problem later?

If you intend to keep the hedge to a certain height then eventually you can let the Thujas catch up and keep them both cut to match. They will always have rather different textures though. Janet G |
