I’m not sure I can grow some of these things where I live, but I just wanted to say I lived on Whidbey Island in the early 90s and I loved that area so much!!
Thank you for the information, I am a landscape engineer and I just started my internship. Any of this plants will do just perfect for my first project! Please keep these videos coming, they are very useful!
Wax myrtle is my favorite too. I have it combined in a hedgerow with other natives like twinberry, Oregon grape and currants and underplanted with salal. I have ceanothus also but they have a short life expectancy. Mine are looking pretty sad (16 years) with lots of dead wood underneath and will need replacing. They cannot be rejuvenated with pruning.
I'm in zone 9 and desperate for a privacy hedge. Which ceanothus would be the fastest growing? Currently looking at Ray Hartman. I may give the CA wax myrtle a try too!
Since we're in a colder zone here we often recommend the Ceanothus 'Victoria' as our larger, faster growing Ceanothus. In your zone it looks like Ray Hartman is a good choice as well!
Can you prune the Pacific Wax Myrtle to a formal hedge? I've read some conflicting views on it. I have a space about 4 feet by 30 feet, and I'd like it to be about 6-8 feet tall, but I'm worried the Pacific Wax Myrtle wants more space than that.
Hi Abbygail! It is always best to choose a plant that grows to the size you have to offer. That said, many plants will tolerate being hedged, but I’m not sure Myrica would be happy in the long term being kept to just 6-8’ tall. I would recommend a Schipke Laurel instead! Thanks for watching our videos.

Yellow Ribbon Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis) is it a eastern Arborvitae ?
One common name for Thuja occidentalis is Eastern Arborvitae, yes. This is a cultivar of that plant.
