Planter size for emerald green arborvitae tree as privacy screen
Comments (5)even if i bought wood.. to make it last.. i would have them potted in plastic and insure there were a lot of drain holes in the wood ... so it stayed as dry as possible .. so determination of the planter size.. would be a function of the pot size ... if that makes sense ... so.. at a min.. i would be thinking about a MINIMUM of a 25 gallon black pot ... see link.. no clue if that is a good price.. i got most of mine from recycle bins .... but i dont use them decoratively ... and that one is already 25 inches wide at the top .... any even in nurseries.. plants of the size you want..

Next is the bamboo, which grows quickly and is hardy. Typically, bamboo reaches 10 feet in a pot and 12 to 15 feet in the ground. The last type is the brightly colored dogwood.
