It is important to plant the right number of conifers per meter. If the plants are too far apart, it will take a long time for the hedge to become dense. Because there is so much space between them, it takes a long time for their branches to touch. If the plants are planted too far apart, a conifer hedge may not grow densely at all.
In turn, if the individual conifers are too close together, then that can cause other problems. Conifers, such as yews, cypresses or trees of life, grow irregularly and form single, long shoots. They can even become bare at the bottom because there is too little light. In the worst case, the hedge plants dry out because the competition for water in the soil is too high. That is why it is good to know how many plants need to be placed per meter.
