Creating a landscape design for a garden or your site, we often first pay attention to thuja. These coniferous trees are quite hardy, do not need complex care and can form a beautiful hedge.
Since thuja is an excellent choice for the formation of a hedge, owners of private sections often have a thought, to plant it with these conifers strictly around the perimeter. But you should not do this. Over time (moreover, quite quickly) the crown and the root system of the thuja grow, which means that the branches will begin to bulge for the necessary limits, and the roots can be found under the foundation of structures or go to someone else's territory.
Therefore, when you plant thuja on your land, always leave 50 cm, and preferably 1 meter from the barrel. This will give a tree a space for growth. In addition, a plant that has enough space will grow even and does not deform, it will need to be cut less often.
Tui landing is too close to the fence also creates difficulties in care. Branches will have to be cut more often.
What may turn out to be a problem if they fall into the neighboring territory. Also, unwanted shadow for other garden plants can also create an unwanted shadow too tightly to the edge - this also needs to be taken into account.
It is equally important to leave a place between the thuja from which you want to form a living fence from them. In this case, plants should be at a distance of one meter from each other. This will help them grow well and at the same time form a dense row.
