    Many times live trees for Christmas are sold after being stored outdoors. This means that they are already in their dormant phase and when you bring them back indoors, they get confused and start to die. As soon as you can (after the holidays), move the tree back to a cool location, like a garage or a shed so that it can go back into its dormant state.

    If you want them for a screen, 6' is about right. They will grow into each other, but that will create a solid screen. You could go as wide as 10'-12' if you are looking to save some money but still want to have a good screen.

    The best time to plant will be in the spring.

    This tree does great in containers, and even makes an excellent candidate for training into bonsai specimens. You may find these articles helpful as well: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/containers/how-to-grow-container-trees.htm
