    Can you please advise the best mulch option to use?
    Also, what's the best spacing for Emerald Cedars?
    Thanks

    Arborist wood chips or cedar play chips. Space according to how long you want to wait for them to fill in. Main issue with this plant is drainage, it must be good at all times. Many questions on the internet about sections of 'Smaragd' hedges going brown, often this appears to be root rot.
