| I just planted a privet hedge of 15 gallon plants (about 4'). The privet are tied to a stake and I put them in with the stake.
My question is, when do I untie the privet? I untied one but the branches seem week. On the other hand, I don't know if the shrubs can grow at all when tied up like that. Thanks for the help. |
