First time home owner in Los Angeles, CA.

Goal is to achieve 7-8 ft lush dense privacy hedge.

I just planted about 70 (5 gallon) privet hedges that did not come with stakes. Do i need to stake them to make sure they grow straight up correctly but also want them to fill in between the gaps. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you GW.

Hi Ken,

I believe they were firmly planted into the soil. I tilled my dirt a few weeks ago and mixed some starter fertilizer from home depot. I don't believe to have any drainage. Looking forward to your reply.

Thank you
