My house sits on about an acre of land in Michigan. A new subdivision is being built in field behind my house. I want to plant some pretty, fast growing pine trees to block the view. What would be a good pine to accomplish this ???? What is the best time of the year to plant them ???
Nice, fast growing pine trees to plant in Michigan?
White Pines are fairly fast growing. Also Loblolly Pine, Leyland Cypress,Norway Spruce and Dawn Redwood. The best time to plant is spring or fall. Not summer, to hot. Your Wisconsin neighbor.
Reply:If you can get them, Lawson Cypress grows about 18 inches a year here in Scotland, but will probably grow faster in Michigan they will reach about 30 ft. plant them 18" to 24" apart, they don't need any attention and they are very attractive and really work great as a screen, they are not really Pine trees but most people think they are. I planted mine about 12 years ago and I now have a 30 ft high row 250 ft long and it is also an excellent wind break. If you can get 12" to 18" trees you can plant them at any time of the year except when there is frost or snow on the ground .
Don't be temped to plant taller trees as 12/18" soon overtake the larger ones.
