Hi Im Kaitte
I\'m in zone 4, Rocky Ford CO.. Colorado plains.. -25 winter.. 110 dead heat summer
I created an Espalier Orchard, using 6 16 ft cattle panels .. late in the season so will collect more fruit trees in Spting..
I\'ve been here 6 years after the first two I started creating a pollinator wild life habitat.. Now I always plant with that in mind.. besides me of course
I bought the privet to hide the posts.. wondering I can\'t find a life span of the bird feeding hedge..
One posts said 2 to 3 years.. it does not grow that fast in 3 years, so is this true? Does it grow from the roots like a butterfly bush or lilac?? Thank You
