Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is essential for ensuring your Murray Cypress Trees thrive and reach their full potential as a magnificent privacy screen. These trees are generally low-maintenance, but understanding their specific needs will promote vigorous growth and long-term health. Plant your Murray Cypress in well-drained soil, as they do not tolerate soggy conditions. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter to improve drainage. For optimal growth, choose a location that receives full sun to partial sun exposure, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While adaptable, consistent sunlight encourages denser foliage and faster growth. When planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Gently remove the tree from its 2.5" pot, loosen any circling roots, and place it in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the ground. Backfill with soil, gently tamp down to remove air pockets, and water thoroughly.

During the first year, regular watering is crucial to help the trees establish a strong root system. Water deeply 2-3 times per week, especially during dry periods, ensuring the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Once established, these trees become remarkably drought-tolerant, requiring less frequent watering. However, during prolonged dry spells, occasional deep watering will benefit their health and growth. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer formulated for evergreens. Follow the product instructions for application rates. Pruning is generally not required for shape, as they naturally grow into an attractive conical form. However, you can trim any dead, damaged, or crossing branches to maintain health. For a formal hedge, light shearing can be done in late winter or early spring. Monitor for common pests like bagworms or spider mites, and treat with appropriate organic or chemical controls if necessary. Proper spacing, typically 6-10 feet apart for a dense privacy screen, is key to preventing overcrowding and promoting good air circulation, which helps deter disease. Following these guidelines will ensure your Murray Cypress Trees develop into a robust and beautiful privacy screen trees.
