I have a row of waxleaf ligustrums and I spaced them about 5 feet apart. I wanted them for screening purposes but am afraid I may have placed them too far apart. Will they eventually grow together?

These shrubs can be grown as small trees and can grow to approx. 25 feet in height so, if anything, you probably have them spaced too close together.

I guess I'll have to prune regularly to keep them at a decent height. Thanks for the post.

I have 2 about 5 or 6 feet apart. They aren't hard to take care of. I really love mine.
