Great!
Beautiful Fence
We bought 35 of these over 30 years ago. They are beautiful. We followed the directions in planting and fertilizing. They are so healthy and robust. They created the green privacy fence that we wanted. They were supposed to be 6-10ft. Well mine over at least 15 foot tall and are so big around. They have grown over my fence into the driveway. I have them cut back every 2 years but they keep getting bigger and bigger. Healthy and beautiful. I just wish they were smaller.
