Japanese Yew—Evergreen Hedge 
PLANTING AND GROWING HEDGES 
Beautiful hedges are easily grown if a few simple instructions are 
observed. Dig a trench 10 to 12 inches deep and the width of a 
spade. Set the plants a couple of inches deeper than they stood in 
the nursery. This insures a dense hedge at the base. Privet should 
be set 10 inches apart, Barberry about 18 inches. Shrubs such as 
Spirea 18 inches, Chinese Elm 2 feet, and Evergreens 2 to 3 feet. 
Spacing may be varied depending upon the density desired. After 
spacing plants, fill in about one-half of the depth of the trench, 
then flood with water. After settling fill in balance of the trench 
and tramp firmly. Leave a slight depression along each side of the 
hedge to retain water. Keep thoroughly soaked until well started. 
Privet should be cut back to about 8 or 10 inches after planting to 
promote vigorous growth. Hedges planted in this manner rarely fail 
to grow.
