It will slowly mature up to 40 feet tall, but only 8-10 feet wide, especially useful in smaller areas. The long-lived tree is deer resistant and grows in full sun or part shade. Incense Cedars are a symbol of beauty, blessings, and strength. A row makes a superb sweet-scented windbreak or tall privacy screen.

CAMELLIA BUSHES -Sale $40 (Reg.$45) Photo May 2, 2026 of Red Velvet in bloom.
Planted in 5 gallon pots, professionally pruned to be full and flourishing.
A ROW MAKES A LOVELY HEDGE THAT BLOOMS MID-WINTER TO SPRING - RED VELVET CAMELLIA is well named as it has extra-large velvety deep red/burgundy flowers (4-5 inches across) that look just like lush velvet. They bloom at a time when almost nothing is flowering. Camellia nectar sustains our local pollinators, especially bees and hummingbirds. Royal Velvet has upright growth, maturing 8 to 10 feet tall. It prefers partial sun to partial shade and will do well planted in a large container. The flowers are frost-tolerant. With glossy dark green leaves, a row of Royal Velvet Camellia creates a dense hedge or privacy screen that is beautiful all year. Camellia japonica ‘Royal Velvet’ USDA Zones 7 – 9 (limited availability)

It grows quickly, averaging 2 feet (or more) per year, depending on location and planting conditions. Laurel grows in full sun to dense shade and tolerates poor soil, wind, and salt spray. It is deer resistant and drought tolerant when established. These laurel bushes have been grown from seed and are an excellent choice for an attractive fast-growing and trouble-free dense privacy hedge. Prunus laurocerasus ‘Schipkaensis’ USDA Zones 6 - 9.
