Question on how to plant privacy hedge plants?

Question

I have privacy hedges around almost half of my property,My question is how do I take starts from my existing plants, to grow more plants. How and where do I cut,how should they be cared for???

About the only thing I can tell you to describe what type of hedges I have is that they are NOT barbery. No jaggers. Just what I would consider to be a regular hedge plant.I don't know about anywhere else,but here in PA. I have only ever seen the regular type (like I have) and the barbery type (which jave jaggers). I hope this helps you to help me. Thank You.

Answer 1

cuttings can be taken from tips, dipped in rooting hormone, stuck in a rooting medium, misted until roots form, and planted in winter or fall

Answer 2

They grow very dense and can be easily trimmed or left to grow. Depending on the variety, they will be 3-10' wide. Growing 6-12" upward a year, they can be topped at any height to maintain a formal screen. Arborvitae prefers loamy or heavy soil to dry, sandy soil. They tolerate moderate shade and grow best in full sun. Drought, in the last five years, has adversely affected some arborvitae and made them susceptible to insects. In July and August, check your plants for stress and water heavily, if necessary. At this time of year, the most serious insect pests are evident. The University of Maine Cooperative Extension, a library, or your nursery professional may help identify an insect problem

Answer 3

Well it depends on what kind of hedges you have.
