Cedar - Holmstrup

The Holmstrup Cedar is a great choice for a hedge that will only grow 8-10ft when mature. It will grow slower than the Skybound Cedar but you will not have to prune it each year to keep it at a specific height. As with all cedars, the plant will benefit greatly from having rich, moist soil and will not take well to a dry environment. It is normally best to plant these cedars with a bowl of mulch around the outside of the roots and to use drip irrigation if you do not want to water by hand. Buy the Holmstrup Cedar today if you are looking for a cedar that fits a smaller yard but would still like the privacy. It can also be used as a feature tree in a small garden.

Growing instructions: Plant Holmstrup Cedars in rich top soil and they will grow much quicker but they can handle clay soils. These cedars will suffer if they are faced with long-term drought. You must keep the roots moist for the first couple of summers and they will become more drought tolerant over time but it is best to continue deep watering through any future droughts as well. A drip irrigation system takes the guessing out of when you need to water and how much. It is affordable and easy to DIY. Hedging instructions: We recommend mulching the whole row of cedars 4 feet wide to prevent the soil from drying out around the trees. Plant these trees 2-3ft apart to create a nice privacy wall.
