Hi Sue,
Could use some good advice.
I have a very long wall of privacy trees/hedges on side of house. Unfortunately 10-12 had to be removed, as they were badly burned. Several others blew over in wind. Everything was well established.
Insurance co. Did replace with skinny nothing trees in 15 gallon pots. This will take another 20 years to grow. I would not mind, but the problem is the neighbor near me goes to property line and loves to look over into my property. If he sees me, he quickly retreats.
Last year he took a ladder and sat on top of it. I took photos of this, and my Gardner told me to call the cops. They do nothing. I would say something, but he and his wife are mentally unstable.
He has been married to the same women multiple times. She disappears for 5-10 years then is back.
Jim had mentioned bonsi wire on one of his posts. Last Sunday went to Lowe’s for a hose, and place was Packed, so did not look for anything else.

Today I called a local nursery, they never heard of it. Can you tell me how to get long branches tied together, and bypass the new trees, whose branches are only inches long.
I’ve been using the Gardner green tape, but it dries out in the sun, and becomes brittle.
The cotton clothes line material breaks.
When I sit outside, he magically appears, like there is a camera focused on my yard
I warned the Gardner and his crew no cut Robles (Spanish for tree).
I would go to local nursery and look around, but do not know what to look for?
Any input would be appreciated. I just want my solid hedge again.
Thanks,
Funcountess
