hello everyone, since I will soon receive 240 Thuja smaragd and will be planting them, I am thinking about the irrigation. The plants will be 20-30 cm tall. It is supposed to become a hedge about 100 meters long later on. How can one irrigate them? I already have a cistern with a pump and garden hose in use. I would connect the irrigation there. Which is a good system? Do you use drip tubing systems? Does anyone have an irrigation system and is familiar with it? Thank you very much for your answers.

Hi,

We will plant a 30 m long embankment area-wide with various plants, and three rows of drip hoses will be used there.

For a hedge, where there is only one plant every 50 cm (or how close are these cemetery trees planted?), I would rather use one of those systems that specifically water each plant individually. So a long main line, from which a small mini drip hose branches off every 50 cm.

Regards,

Andreas

Hello!

We had about 180 Thuja Emeralds and at that time caught a heatwave during which about 50 died (ignorance).

So at the beginning water, water, water, especially when it gets warmer.

Best every 2-3 days about 10 liters per tree.

We also bought a soaker hose (you can get it thrown at you at Ebas) and laid it at the trunk. Then a digital meter from Gardena so we could measure the consumption.

Last year (so in the 3rd) the saying about watering was over and they developed splendidly.

I would possibly skip fertilizing because sun and fertilizer might burn the trunk.

Yes, I want the beautiful cemetery thuja. They will be planted at a distance of 40 cm. What should I then search for on the Internet?

Does this drip hose drip the water along the whole hose? Or do you have to attach some kind of nozzles to it? Basically for each one individually?

Are you getting bare-root plants or container-grown stock?

I also like the cemetery arborvitaes. More arborvitaes in the gardens! Whether bare root or in containers!
