How Far Apart to Plant Corokia Geentys Green

For a dense, attractive hedge, the recommended Corokia Geentys Green hedge spacing is 60 to 90 cm between plants (measured from the centre of one rootball to the next). Planting at 60 cm spacing gives you a quick-forming, solid screen—perfect if you want privacy or wind protection as fast as possible. For a slightly looser look or if budget is a concern, choosing 90 cm spacing will still give good results, but may take an extra season to fill in completely.

Why Proper Hedge Spacing Matters

Getting your Corokia Geentys Green hedge spacing right is essential. Closer planting means your hedge will fill out faster and resist weeds, but it’s important not to crowd your shrubs, as this can impact air flow, encourage diseases, and cause competition for nutrients. Adequate spacing also encourages each plant to develop a robust root structure and maintain its compact, formal shape with minimal pruning.
