How do you make a living fence?

Establishing Living Fences Homesteaders typically create living fences by planting appropriate shrub or tree species — started nursery plants, stem, or root cuttings or seeds — at close spacing. As they mature, the saplings are pruned tightly to force thick, bushy growth and form an impenetrable hedge.

How do you plant a tree fence?

For example, if you choose cedars, junipers, or similar evergreen trees, make sure you leave 6 to 8 feet distance between them. If you use spruce trees and pines, plant them at a 10 to 12 feet distance apart. And, if your choice is American Arborvitae, it's enough to leave 3 feet between the trees.
