In the hedge, the planting distance should be between 40 and 60 cm, depending on the size of the young plant. Then the roots of Thuja Brabant still have enough space to spread and the nutrient supply is ensured.
Planting distance to neighboring properties and sidewalks
Thuja Brabant is a shallow root that forms a pronounced root system over time. There is a real risk of paving slabs being lifted, although that can take a long time. To be on the safe side, you should keep a sufficient distance between plants and paths and neighboring properties.
Thuja Brabant doesn't get road salt well. For this reason alone, a greater distance from paths that are gritted in winter makes sense.
In addition, before creating the thuja hedge, you should find out how large the distance from neighboring properties in your community must be. If the hedge is too close to the border, the neighbor can request that you remove the thuja hedge.
Tips
Choose a convenient location for your Thuja Brabant hedge. Once the tree of life has really grown, it is very difficult to get it back transplant. The place should be sunny to partially shaded and well drained.
