We planted a thuja hedge last September. Until now, it looked really healthy. However, more and more plants are turning brown over time. The brown plants are very easy to pull out. It seems like the roots haven’t taken hold at all. What could be the reason for this? Especially since the plants were previously quite green and had grown well.

Thuja plants need a lot of water during the first two years, after that they take care of themselves.

Amazing how everyone has something against Thuja, it's the same with cherry laurel. Better a green hedge than a fence.There are many beautiful hedges, but Thuja is not one of them. Cherry laurel is also not suitable as a hedge. It’s nice as a single plant, though.M

Then please suggest an alternative for a beautiful, evergreen hedge. Yew would be great in my opinion, but it grows too slowly and is much too expensive if you want large plants from the start.

Better a green hedge than a fence.Both of these plant species offer little nutritional value or habitat for native insects and birds. Considering the significant insect decline over recent years, this choice is unfortunate. Therefore, alternatives are being promoted.Similar topics
