Q. How far apart should I plant my hedge shrubs to make a
hedge?
A. It depends on the plant but a general rule of thumb
for shrubs that grow just as wide as they are tall is to plant them the same
distance as their mature height. If you plant them this far apart they will
grow up touching each other. If you want them to fill in faster, then plant
them a bit closer.
Pruning shrubs with a hedge shears tells me you don't know how to prune. |
Planting them too close together causes them to grow together but they will shade each other. That’s not a problem for the hedge but you will spend more money than you need to in plants.
