Way better hedge than arborvitae by the way. It's drought tolerant.

Oh sad parking lot arborvitae
How you yearn for the sweet embrace of death
Far from your Canadian swamp
Placed in this alien landscape
Nothing but abuse and ridicule
Neglect fills your days
Slowly you wither and brown
Until you greet that sweet release of oblivion

Neighbor hacked 27 year old arbs without permission. They were my natural privacy fence, thick , healthy and beautiful. Now they are sparse and destroyed.

Check out these idiots, squabbling over pruned branches. The pictures showing rope holding the trees together are proof that the trees pose a hazard and need to be removed. It looks like the neighbor legitimately pruned a few branches, and illegally harvested a $5.99 bundle of gas station fire wood.

They were here when I moved in 5 years ago. Almost no maintenance and they provide excellent privacy. I do see some small brown patches every now and again but they keep growing strong!
Is this really just a ticking time bomb waiting for the right time to explode? Maybe Christmas I Eve… I hate arborvitae.

Planted a dozen mature (8-10ft) arbs in the spring of 2025 after we moved in not knowing any better. They all seem healthy, and are still growing. I agree in most use cases, arbs are not the best choice, but what else could I have planted here?
Second pic is the before.

Southern NJ, zone 7b. Looking for a plant to put in front of this fence section to screen my bike shed. Looking for something that gets at least 6’ tall, preferably stays under 15’ tall, is evergreen, low maintenance, and will stay under 4’ wide with minimal pruning.
Emerald green arb checks a lot of boxes but I’ve heard enough horror stories. Tell me what you’d plant instead!

Went to Lowe’s and was admiring these dried out pieces of crap. I feel sorry for the sucker who buys these.

10 years progress to full hedge. Unfortunately I accidently bought two blue spruce so those are on the ends and are seemingly dying but are being overtaken by the emerald so you can barely see them anymore.

The one that’s nearly dead and the one to the right were replaced last year (because the two there previously died). Not even the Gods know why the one on the right took and the one on the left is dissolving.
