Yea I had no idea about those or I would have planted them instead. The thing I like about the Cedars is they are designed to handle scorching heat and blistering cold on the prairies, how do those other plants hold up?

I wanted something that was next to no maintenance.

One thing I've always wondered is, what if you came home and someone had chopped the tops off all your cedars? You're blocking their view, they are only a few feet from the fence line, they just get a ladder and lop the tops off. 5 years of growth in 30 seconds, and probably killing the plant. You could never prove it was them.
