In order for the cypress hedge to quickly become a dense privacy screen, many gardeners plant the trees far too densely. However, this takes revenge later, because the cypresses then do not have enough space to unfold. How to find the right planting distance.
With a cypress hedge, a distance of about 30 cm from plant to plant should be maintained
Planting distance to buildings, garden paths and neighboring properties
As a single tree, the cypress comes into its own when sufficient distance is maintained from other plants and buildings. It should be at least 1.5 meters planting distance.
Planting distance in the hedge
If you are in a hurry, plant three cypresses per meter. The planting distance is then about 30 centimeters.
If you can take your time, two plants per meter will suffice. The planting distance should be around 50 centimetres.
tips
By trimming the hedge regularly, you will ensure that the trees branch out well. Initially, it makes sense to cut the cypress hedge twice a year.
