    Hi folks,

    I am trying to grow a few trees across the front wall of our house. I dont want it to be a hedge really, I'd rather a row of individual trees.

    I was happy enough to go buy a few thuja smaragd but I see one shop offering one called a Holmstrup and cant for the life of me tell the difference.

    We'd like low maintenance, evergreens 2.5 - 3m tall pyramid shape that wont fully knit together ( although thats probably based on how we plant them )

    Something on the lines of this
    Are we "barking up the right tree" ( sorry )

    Get the ones you like, FYI whether they nit together or not had little to do with how you plat them but everything to do with how you prune/trim them.

    Looking for exactly the same kind of individual tree, need to cover around 70 linear meters but need something that grows up to 6-7 meters and 2meters base? Any ideas?
