Wax myrtles along fence. Best front yard landscaping ideas best ideas for the garden backyard patio. I would try wax myrtles myrica cerifera. I am planning to use the 65 gal wax myrtles and here i have 2 questions. If each plant reaches 20 feet and therefore spreads. Should i move them farther away. The wax myrtles were only about 18 high after planting and the crepe myrtles were about 5 high after planting. Morella cerifera wax myrtle is generally predicted to grow from 6 to 12 feet tall with a similar spread.
The soil next to your fence needs to be well drained to avoid rot and root fungus and the area should get plenty of sun so the tree can grow well. I have about 175 ft of fence line to cover with wax myrtles. I have three tuscarora crape myrtles about 4 feet from my fence. Based on previous reading the spacing between the trees should be around 10ft i plan to stay in this house for long time and i don t want the trees to look like crap after 5 years. Along with choosing a type of tree that is appropriate for growing next to a fence you ll also need to make sure your environment can support a tree. I m perfectly fine with it getting 15 to 20 feet high as some state it can but i m getting conflicting info that it grows anywhere from 10 to 20 feet wide at full size. They can grow as high as 20 feet often trained into a tree.
Wax myrtles make a great privacy hedge and require minimal effort. You will want to grow them as shrubs without trimming them up in order to achieve maximum screening. Nice soft evergreen shrub fairly fast growing w a little supplemental water that takes shade or sun in dfw area. Hedge spacing to produce an unbroken hedge your wax myrtles must be no farther apart than their eventual spread usually about 20 or 25 feet. Need some quick privacy but don t want something huge. I bought some southern wax myrtles to hide a privacy fence our neighbor erected. Morella cerifera wax myrtle is generally predicted to grow from 6 to 12 feet tall with a similar spread.
