These can grow several feet a year, and it's important to note that how close you plant them will dictate their max growth height.
If planting in rows, you probably want them at least 5 feet apart, and they will reach 20' tall. 8 feet apart will get you 25-30' in height.
These are super low maintenance plants. Water them for a couple weeks when you first plant them and maybe add some fertilizer like Root Rocket, but otherwise they just do their thing. No trimming or anything should be required.

I'm also the original poster of this deal when it was selling via Costco.
Wouldn't buy these again… I'll be dead by the time they actually provide privacy
They only live about 20-25 years under optimal conditions. Once they look great, they will start to go in decline and need to be replaced.
I feel like plant growers need to start including lifespan on the plant tags. Many people would not buy so many of the big box plants if they knew how short lived they were. Nothing more frustrating than to get your landscaping in a new home and after 20 years it all has to be redone because all the plants are at the end of their lifespans. It can be expensive to replace as just like everything else good plants have inflated in price alot.
Boxwoods are another serious problem. They are short-lived as well (20-30 years) and they are now being affected by some type of virus and everybody is complaining how they are turning yellow and dying off after the past winter. This is in the midwest. I have about 9 that are fully mature but have now gotten hit and need to be dug out. I am just tired of these crappy big box plants.
