I wish arborvitae was cheaper. I need already tall.... and a good handful of them, too

They are expensive because they grow slower than a lot of other plants and have to sit longer at the nursery.

I used Oakleaf Holly trees as a screen and with the arctic blast in December we had in East TN they all defoliated! They are starting to leaf back out but they are not going to be pretty this year! Our Tea Olives defoliated too and are sprouting back up from the ground.

I'm in northeast Alabama. My tea olives got SMOKED but are starting to leaf back out. My oakleaf hollies didn't drop the first leaf. My Loropetalum took a pretty good beating too but are perking back up.

Another super fast growing, absolutely zero care, evergreen, fragrant screening plant is our unsung native Southern Wax Myrtle. Birds love the berries, as well. Just discovered your channel. I’m next door in NW GA, and it’s nice to find another great channel from this part of the US!

Beautiful part of the state. I love the shoals area and hiking in the bankhead national forest.

I live in zone 6B. I was thinking about getting 7 gallon (approx 5-6ft) Nellie R stevens holly as a substitute for Evergreen arborvitae due to the lower cost. I'm on a limited budget and don't have a ton of land approximately 0.15 acres (a little over 6,000sqft.) I wanted privacy in my back and side yard to block out 2 story apartments behind me plus my next door neighbors. The only thing thats stopping me is the soil. Its clay soil and afraid they may not do well. Do you have any cost effective suggestions that would help me to get them to thrive and grow faster?

So I grew up in Georgia. The red clay capital of the world. Nellies did fine there as long as it wasn't anaerobic clay (gray clay). Hopefully this helps.

Sweet Olive ( Osmanthus fragrans) is absolutely beautiful tree, but bad choice if you looking to block unwanted neighbors because is slow grower, you’ll need to wait 15-20 years for the tree to give you some privacy also watch up for aphids and scale and it will need protection during winter time even in zone 9, is frost sensitive.

I bought mine around 3ft tall and in 3 years they were 8-10ft tall. I've never had an insect or disease issue. They did defoliate in last year's flash freeze we went from 53 to 8 in about three hours. We got down to 7 this year but over the course of about 2 days and they are fine.
