For windbreaks or property borders on larger properties, space trees 25 feet apart to allow for their full mature canopy. These adaptable trees thrive in mixed borders, along driveways, and as standalone specimens, performing well in sandy, clay, and most standard landscape soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeight: 50 feet\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 20–25 feet\u003cbr\u003eGrowth Rate: 3–5 feet per year\u003cbr\u003eSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003eWater: Moderate; drought tolerant when established\u003cbr\u003eSoil: Adaptable to sandy, clay, and loamy soils\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Zones: 4–8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Homeowners Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Rapid growth delivers privacy in just a few seasons instead of decades\u003cbr\u003e• Soft, touchable foliage with no sharp needles or thorns\u003cbr\u003e• Natural pyramidal shape requires little to no pruning\u003cbr\u003e• Evergreen foliage maintains color and screening throughout winter\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDig a planting hole twice the width of the root ball and equally deep, then center the tree and backfill with native soil. Create a shallow basin around the base and apply 3 inches of mulch to retain moisture. Water deeply 2 to 3 times weekly during the first month to establish roots, then reduce frequency as the tree matures.
