It is ideal to plant two rows and then stretch to eight foot spacing between the trees and also eight feet between the two rows, but stager the trees between the two rows. This gives a very effective wind, snow, dust, sound and visual barrier. The row of trees will be thick enough that it is difficult to walk through them after three years of growth. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA WORD OF CAUTION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Please do not trust other internet sellers who claim these trees will live longer than 30 years or even \"up to 70 years.\"  It is simply not true. We believe in being honest with our customers! Our experience indicates that Hybrid SuperTrees will begin to have broken branches and decline at about 18-20 years old. Total lifespan seems to be about 30 years. We have about 500 of these Hybrid SuperTrees at our nursery that are 30 years old, which we are about to remove to replant more. Average trunk diameter of those specimens is about 30\". They look pretty rough by 30 years old, so plan to remove them before they begin to rapidly decline and drop branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eANOTHER WORD OF CAUTION:\u003c\/strong\u003e Avoid purchasing this species of tree from nurseries or online sellers who ship them as simple cuttings or scions. This particular species struggles to establish without a healthy complete root system. The death loss percentage can be very high (35%+) because this hybrid species DOES NOT like to start with weak roots or with no established roots, and is sensitive to drying out and can be hard to get established. This means extra work for you, even if the seller agrees to replace your dead trees. If one tree in a row dies, you will have an open space in the row that is difficult to fill. The new replacements will be very small and the visual contrast will be exaggerated because the first set of trees planted will grow so quickly. Of course, you will unfortunately experience the same death loss percentage (35%+) with your replacements. Also, be aware that unrooted stock can only be planted in early spring. We do offer bare-root transplant stock, but all of ours are second or third year plants with well established root systems. We are also the only nursery in the US with the ability to ship plugs to fill in any gaps from March to October, if you did need a replacement tree. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOUR BARE ROOT STOCK IS EXCELLENT: \u003c\/strong\u003e Our bare root transplants are shipped dormant and the roots are well wrapped in moist dunnage for the trip. Our stock WILL NOT die if given even basic care, and you can plant anytime during spring. Your trees can be kept in water for a day or two if you cannot plant immediately after they arrive. It is very important that you keep the bare root stock moist at all times. Stock will arrive in a long carton, via either UPS, Postal or SpeeDee Delivery, depending on where you live. Shipping cost varies by location and quantity ordered, which determines the weight. We do not try to profit on shipping, it is already too expensive in our opinion. Instructions for care and planting will be shipped in the box with your trees. \u003cstrong\u003ePlease read those instructions.\u003c\/strong\u003e You can also read information about \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/karstennursery.com\/planting-instructions\/\" title=\"Care and Planting instructions.\"\u003eCare and Planting instructions here.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eADD SOME PLANTSKYDD® TO YOUR ORDER!\u003c\/strong\u003e We highly recommend that you also purchase some PlantSkydd® animal repellent to protect your young trees from hungry critters like rabbits \u0026amp; deer.

Why wait that long? If you need a fast-growing hedge row that will provide quick protection from wind, snow, noise or dust, order your Hybrid SuperTrees from Karsten Nursery and get them in the ground soon! If you have enough space, we encourage you to plant a variety of other species parallel to your row of Hybrids so that in 20 years you will have a healthy, mature stand of trees inside the declining row of Willows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eTo order, simply select how many trees you want to purchase, and then what size you'd like, and then click the Add to Cart button \u0026amp; proceed to payment.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSHIPPING TO CANADA IS AVAILABLE, PLEASE CONTACT US TO INQUIRE ABOUT REQUIREMENTS FOR CUSTOMS AND OUR PROCESS FOR SHIPMENT INTO CANADA.
