Orange Jubilee for Privacy

12 years ago

Hello All...

I'm getting ready to plant some Orange Jubilee for privacy bushes along my walls here near South Mountain. I have a half acre and a lot of space. How close should I plant the Orange Jubilee together in order for it to look good and not be too crowded... I haven't decided if I want to do a solid hedge yet or if I'll let them be individuals, but I do want them to get big.

i think if it were me i would go about every 3 feet or so that way they would grow together, produse a nice wall but not be to crowded. but thats just my opinion.

The guy at Lowe's said every 12 feet but I thought that was too far... At every 3 feet that's a big cost difference. Will these grow together and look like an actual hedge, or are they just going to look like a bunch of bushes?

For a hedge effect, I planted mine 4 feet apart. I've read that 4 to 8 feet is optimal for them.
