Even if it is still quite small when planting, a cypress needs a lot of space
Find the right planting distance for false cypresses
Mock cypresses need a lot of nutrients because of their fast growth. Therefore you should not plant the ornamental shrubs too densely, so that they do not rob each other of the food. Which planting distance is recommended for specimen plants and hedges?
Planting distance for single false cypresses
If the decorative ornamental shrubs stand alone, you should allow them a space of about three square meters.
Planting distance in the hedge
The planting distance in the hedge may be 50 centimeters shorter. Two false cypresses come to one meter of hedge length. If the hedges are not so high, 30 centimeters are enough.
Planting distance to fences and buildings
Do not plant toxic cypress trees too close to fences and buildings.
How big the distance to the neighboring property must be, is regulated differently depending upon municipality.
Close to buildings you should be two meters away.
Tips
Do not plant cypress trees too tightly. This will help to control the spread of diseases such as fungal infection.
