Now that our hedges are fully grown it’s probably not necessary, but during their rapid growth stage it helps to fertilize them. I used a slow release granular palm fertilizer from Lowel’s and sprinkled some on the ground above the roots in the early spring and again in the early fall. Also, we have a hose attachment that sprays a water and liquid miracle grow mix. I sprayed the entire row of plants with the mixture two or three times per year. Within three years we had a decent privacy hedge and after four years it was completely full.

That's great advice, I never thought about fertilizing them. Thanks!
