SPACING EVERGREENS. How far apart evergreens should be planted 
is not easy to say. They are so very long-lived that what is correct in 
youth is crowded after 25 or 50 years. Generally speaking, plants from 12 
to 36 inches should be spaced two to three feet apart and removed at the 
end of 5 to 10 years by rearranging the entire planting. Trying to leave 
enough space for more than 10 years’ growth means spending the first five 
of those years looking at empty space. 
DELIVERY COSTS. 
Prices include packing only on small, bare-root 
sizes — NOT on sizes marked “B&B”. 
Boxing of these varies in cost— 
usually about 10% of the price additional. Cost of express on small sizes is 
low—but on plants with a ball (B&B) it is about 40°. We will estimate cost 
in advance if you wish.
