If you want them to grow a bit faster I would suggest getting rid of the grass around them and putting 3 inch layer of Pine mulch. Grass is a Nitrogen pig and will steal it from your Giants. Also I find Chicken Manure pellets to be a great way to boost their growth, with little risk of burning them. I enjoy your videos, thanks.
Lelands have so many issues. The Green Giant was developed as an improvement over Leylands. Why on earth would u ever intermix the 2? Are u a horticulturist or an arborist?
Leyland in my country are cultivated as Christmas trees. They will be cut out in the far future but have been flourishing in that spit since they were 5 inches tall.
@@dragonflybonsaigardensgo to an accredited nursery or garden center. That’s my free advice. Looking at how close the sidewalk is u will also eventually have a problem Leylands are horrible. Eventually u will curse the day u planted them. U obviously have an issue with paying for a landscape ready plant so any recommendations is tough. I don’t know the size of ur area nor do I know ur climate zone. There are times when fencing just makes sense and maybe that’s ur issue. I like thuja green giant, Dragon lady holly, Brackens Brown Beauty, etc but it’s part of a design not a straight row of alternating evergreens. I can’t for the life of me understand why people like yourself don’t get professional design help before spending $ like this. Can’t tell u how many times we have had to rip out exactly what u have planted and your $500 planting turns into thousands of $ of renovation. My advice…seek out professional help from multiple sources.
@@peternyc True, but it is nice to avoid Mono Cultures. If they get hit by a disease, you could lose your entire precious screen that took years to develop. Nice to mix up the screen with Variety. Maybe a spruce, Hemlock and white pine or Juniper here and there.

Great info. My advice for future tree videos is to show more of the trees and not keep point your camera to the ground.
Cant even see them. Camera pointed at the floor! 😒

If you have any suggestions on what would be better for that spot I'm open to hear it

@@dragonflybonsaigardens Green giants are so beautiful. Just plant all green giants. You will be happy.
