Description
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:

I recently purchased the same species and cultivator of shrub from a competitor whose main line of business are trees that grow fast. The Great Garden plants are larger, come in bigger containers, and cost half the price of their competitors. If you want these fast growing shrubs, Great Garden Plants is the place to get them.
Loved how the plants were packed and they arrived in top condition. I am ordering more plants from Great Garden!
My plants were extremely dry when I received them which was only 1 day after I got the email they had shipped. Also the idea to pack some of them upside down is a poor way to ship them especially being dry all of the dirt fell off of the roots and damaged the tops of 3 of them because they were bent 180 degrees. I emailed and said some of them were damaged and the response I got was lame! claiming it was a shipping issue - NO it's a packaging issue.

Ordered 32 of them, not looking like they are going to make it - yellowing and browning after a little over a week. My maple trees are going great, but the Arborvitae's are sad. Digging deeper it looks like others had issues with pot-bound roots - might've been what happened to these poor trees. Not the best way to spend a lot of time and about a $1,000 after it was all said and done.

They delivered exactly as expected and all the plants were healthy and well packed for shipping. I just wish I had known that they would be eaten by the hungry deer near us. What is the point of a privacy hedge if you have to build a fence to protect it from deer? Might as well build a privacy fence!
We're sorry that the deer enjoyed your plants before you could. Young plants are especially susceptible to deer damage, so we highly recommend protecting new plants in areas with high deer traffic.
