Comments (4)I think many conifers grow very slowly. Pine trees are the exception. They grow very fast. You may consider those, but they are wayyyyyy more than 20ft. Another fast growing conifer is the Witchita Blue Juniper. It will get 4-8 ft wide and 15-20 ft tall. If you plant them, make sure to plant 4 feet next to each other. It can be used as a screen or a windbreak and will need no pruning. It also has appealing color. Goodluck with what ever you choose....See MoreGreen giant arborvitate
Comments (10)there is a lot of space for mis ID between a wholesaler.. and a retailer ... anyway .. jk ... next time.. go about half size.. save money ... and understand that smaller plants recover the planting process faster.. like a year or two.. and often outgrow a larger plant in 5 years .. simply due to less stresses all around ... i would bet my shiny nickle.. that a smaller plant.. given everything you did to the larger .. would probably not be showing the MINOR stress yours is showing .... i hope you watering DEEPLY and infrequently .. rather than light frequent surface watering ... you need to keep the root mass you planted moist [not sodden] for the rest of this year.. and then string it out a bit next season .. and it should be established and free range by the 3 season .... if you are unsure.. use a hand trowel to dig a 3 inch hole above the root mass planted.. AND FIND OUT ... how water is down there ... actual facts help you make good decisions ... dig the holes on both the drip line side.. and the opposite ... ken...See MoreHelp!

Comments (14)Thank you for your response. After researching, I’m positive they are bag worms too. The two trees that were surrounding the one I just removed, easily have over 100 bagworms on them. Everything I read last night says the best time to spray for them is between late May and early June but after July may be too late. I can remove all that I can reach but since their bags are less than 1/2” long and I can see some of them moving & feeding, maybe its not too late to spray? My trees are about 10’ tall and I have 34 of them so there’s a good possibility I will not be able to pull all bagwoms off. Any suggestions on sprays? I found this one but no real reviews on how it helped with bagworms. Thanks again for your help. It has been very surprising and super disappointing on how quickly destructive these things have been.

Comments (2)interior browning is normal.. as the canopy shades the interior.. it can be increased by transplant ... and/or a bad winter ... just plain old normal ... quit looking inside.. lol .. the minor exterior damage ..... looks like handling and shipping damage from grower.. to seller.. to you ... in tree time ... thats how long it can take for minor damage to show .. just snip them off back to live growth ... ken ps: and. sometimes.. mild winters are worse than bad winters.. depending on where you are ......See Morepennymsm
