It can cause mild to moderate swelling, itching, and inflammation if exposed to skin or eyes.

@@batesnursery crap 😬

They develop seed pods at the end of the growing season but modern varieties do not reseed much at all. All purpose tree or plant fertilizer is fine for them. The first two numbers are the most important for growth and blooms respectively.

This is not legal advice and we as a company are not licensed to represent or advise, and do not know the laws of the place you live: If talking to your neighbor about your grievances has failed, you might should look into serving them some kind of official cease and desist notice. Consider also extending the height of your existing fence as a faster option. Plants are a great privacy solution, however most of them will either have to be planted at a very mature size, or they will take 3-5 years to get above your fence line. If you're trying to propagate the plants, then at least double that time for a small cutting to reach mature size. The shady conditions you describe will also make most screening plants less dense than if they were planted in full sun. Some native Junipers might work, and you might have luck with Western Arborvitae and/or Emerald Green Arborvitae which can take partial sun. Another plant to consider won't be skinny, but is very big and tough, cheap, evergreen silvery green foliage, faster growing, and can handle part sun: Silverberry or Eleagnus. Best of luck.

Thanks for watching and your feedback!

That's excellent!

Go ahead and plant one in the fall, they will get established in ground over winter.

They are not, they reportedly taste bitter/astringent and leathery. Would recommend growing a ficus carica variety outdoors.

They really need full sun, but can do ok in part sun. Plant at least 2-3 ft away from a house or foundation.

Yes, we sell them to the greater Middle Tennessee region.

It's a Green Giant arborvitae and this one is quite wide at the bottom.

Nashville, Tennessee.The information is in their profile of their main KZbin page.

We definitely call them Dr. Seuss trees at the nursery

Is the plant looking stressed? Definitely keep up with watering if it hasn't rained and creating afternoon shade also helps give plants a break.

Seen it! Send us some photos of your sad fiddle to [email protected] and we will take a look and get to the bottom of it!

We're rooting for you! Finished fruit is definitely impossible up here without a greenhouse.

@batesnursery Lately it's been windy with tropical storm Alberto, and the banana leaves are not liking it. They're alive, but a little shredded looking. I've heard that people in the area have gotten the Cavendish to bear fruit.

@@maryreynolds8568 They will recover afterwards, ever pushing out new leaves from the center stalk

It could forreal take up to several months! Don't give up yet.

@@batesnursery thank you… yesterday I saw two buds growing!!!!! 💃🏽

We're so glad to hear you found what you were seeking.

Sounds like that would be a good idea!

We'd love to help! Is it getting enough sunlight? How much are you watering? Is it close to a vent that might be drying out the leaves?

@@batesnursery I wait until the soil is dry to water. She’s not near a vent.

@@Heatherwalkr what about the location in your home? They do best in bright light. Also, have there been any sudden temperature changes? Are there signs of pests like aphids or spider mites? With spider mites, the leaves can look like there's a lot of yellow whiteish dots specked all over.

@@batesnursery no signs of pests. I’m thinking I wasn’t watering it enough. Also I still had it in the pot I bought it in. I just repotted it and it’s on my patio in the shade. I’m hoping this helps. Thank you for your help.

You can plant it 6-7 feet away from your house/foundation.

We're glad it helped!

You're right, they are resilient!

​@@batesnurserypoolesville yes.

Yes it's possible since it's also a Juniperus virginiana like Eastern Red Cedar. We instead would recommend Columnar Norway Spruce, Degroot's Spire arborvitae, Emerald Green arborvitae, North Pole arborvitae, or Slender Silhouette sweetgum.

They do bloom and possibly produce fruit if the right conditions are met, however in most climates it will not survive the winter to ripeness, and the fruit is not desirable for flavor.
