Perhaps you can afford plant 2 more in the fall. Things are expensive but that tree too along time to develop. There are many varieties that do not really need pruning.farmettehopeful said:Well, we went to our local nursery today and have decided on Leyland Cypress trees. My hubby loves them and likes the fact that they will still provide privacy in the winter months. My WHOLE plan is out the window now though! We are only getting 2 grown ones right now due to expense but may get two babies to start "the wall" of privacy. I wll no longer be doing a raised bed but still plan on putting down 2 rows of 3x3x8 landscape timbers to keep the mulch in and hope to get some flowers or something in the area for color. I'm hoping we are biting off too much because we know nothing about pruning or cutting back! Thanks for all of your help everyone!!!!
I also have left a voicemail with our zoning officer to be sure we in the clear for the trees possible height...it's a shame when you have his number on hand lol! Just got the call back already and we are in the clear. It can be as tall as we want it
