Conifers - hedge

Expert: Jim Hyland - 10/31/2009

Question
I would love to have a cypress hedge but I only have 4 feet width. It appears that a cypress
would not work with that limitation. What alternatives are there for a similar look? Thank you
your help

Answer
The Blue Point Juniper would be good also the Italian cypress is a good choice. Here is a web link to both of these trees so you can compare them. http://www.fast-growing-trees.com/ItalianCypress.htm

The juniper is a little wider in spread than the Italian cypress and the cypress is a little taller in height. Either will be ok.
