Tree people

[The Luke]

I need to plant a tree wall along the front of my yard, parallel to the road. Ideally, quick growing and very large. Thinking some of kind of pine in a staggered layout. Front yard is approx 100' wide from edge of driveway to neighbors property line. What say ye tree experts? JD?

My neighbors planted some kind of trees along the propeety line they grew quickly. I'll find out what they are called

 

[TBItoy]

leyland cypress or fraser fir (or any other christmas tree species that you like the looks of)

plant the whole damn front yard and start christmas tree farming. Make you a couple hundred bucks at christmas time every year.

You got the Paul Bunyan look locked in, so put on your flannel and make the city slickers feel all folksy.

Some folks here have used cleyera as tree lines... seem to grow fast and fill in.

Again, I'm in Texas but should do well based on what I've read.

Some oaks can grow a foot or two a year.

Over the last few years I have noticed several Leyland cypress trees dying around the house not sure if it was the bad drought in August of 2016 or what.

PM or call redlinediesel. He honestly knows a ton about trees.

My father in law hated his neighbors so he planted trees on the property line that attracted wasps. :****:

If we didn't have a Christmas tree farm on our road already, I'd do it.

Sounds like the customer base is already there.

When you're at Mcdonalds you can usually throw a mcdouble and hit a Wendy's or Burger King... jus sayin.

x2 or 3 or whatever on the leyland cypress

I worked part time at a x-mas tree farm for years during the holidays

they grow up and out quick , if i remember correctly in 3-4 years you will have 5-6' trees

just don't plant them too close to one another

 

[The Luke]

I was thinking about 15-20' apart?

Look up 'Green Giant Arborvitae'. These have replaced Leyland Cypress trees in my area and do not die out like Leylands do as someone else mentioned. We plant them all the time along property lines to create screens.

Good deal. Best time to plant them? Say within the next month?

Ha! It's actually straight truck boxes, and they sell for about $4k. The dry boxes go for $3k. And yeah, for a little bumpity-bump-bump, he probably will!

Yes, just keep some water on them at least while it's hot like it is now. But temps should be cooling down and they won't require much after that.

To hell with the trees. I vote for a wall stacked out of junk cars. Last longer and looks way better then a tree. And u aint gotta deal with no leaves fallin!
