Eventually, even fast-growing evergreens will start to reach their full potential, so if you keep them in your yard for many years, you’ll notice their growth slowing down over time. If your trees reach a height that you’re happy with but keep growing, you can also prune them back each year so they don’t continue getting taller and wider.
