太稀了。。什么时候能长成墙？

卖树的说一般2年。种下树要把顶端优势去掉才会长密。而卖树的是根据树的高度卖的，他们一般不会去掉顶端优势的。

Thank you for sharing. We bought 5 feet tall cedars from them too. Trees are in very good condition. I also post information of planting cedar hedges for somebody who wants to know.

1. dig a trench about 40-50cm and 50-60 wide.
2. Put the peat moss about 5cm thick and water through every piece.
3. add bone meal mix and compost with soil and cover 5cm top soil.
4. plant the trees and refill the half of soil.
5. water trees and refill soil again
6. water again. It is better to mulch them.

Thanks for the picture and the trees look really nice. Since I bought 3 feet trees, I'm just wondering if I should cut 7-8cm or just 3-4cm on the top? Another questions is how often should I water the trees? I've already seen some leaves turned yellow now.

The weather is really hot now. You’d better water them every day if there is no rain. You can’t let them dry out in the first year. They will tolerate the dry weather after 2-3 years. Since you just planted them, I suggest you cut the top a little after they settle (might 2 weeks or more). I think 3-4cm is OK although they told me cut 1/3 of new growing. You might want to fertilize them after settling. They also said fertilizing cedars every two-week by using “Miracle”. Since I will use organic fertilizer, I will try less amount the first to see. Mulch will help keeping more moisture.

Thanks. My trees already have some yellow leaves, how about yours? I thought maybe it's because we planted the tree too late (I was told the best time is spring or fall).

没发觉呀。不用担心，植物刚种下都会有适应期的。

刚才不小心按了回复键，现在接着报告如下：

4。树虽然种下了，但是还要看接下来养得好不好，养不好的就会稀稀拉拉的光长个子不长叶子，有的甚至发黄枯死。

5。等我缓过劲儿来给大家上传两张照片看看，好有点感性认识。

缓过劲儿来了吗? We are waiting for your picture!

Actually, I am also trying to plant the trees in my back yard.

Could you give me some information and advice?

Thanks.

I have cedars in my backyard too. Mine are trees called emeralds, the ones you guys talked about are wild cedars. The wild cedars are have less green foliages as compare to the trees, they also thinner. If you buy the three-feet tall wild cedars, it'll take a while to grow in order to provide privacy for your yard. They start out thin, then grow into each other to form hedges. How fast the cedars grow depending on the type of cedars you have. But on average, it's about 1 foot per year. When you plant the cedars, you need to dig a trench, then put some rich soil in such as triple mix, it is for the cedar to establish a good root system. You can use the soker hose to water the trees, remember, they Love water, especially the first couple weeks after you planted them. Mulch is also recommended to keep the moisture in.
