My house is only 32 ft wide and on either side I planted a tree as a foundation planting. I just found out what I thought was a small tree is a juniperus chinensis 'fairview'. How bad is it going to get? I'm told that these grow to be large trees, I am facing north east, what can I replace them with that is only about 10 ft at its tallest and about 3-4 ft in width. Oh, emerald cedars don't do that well here, they always turn brown and die back. Help before winter is upon me...
I'll bring this back up to the top, maybe someone can help you a bit more.... I'll keep looking. Bill had some info on moving trees in the garden helper itself, go back up and do a search. I think you want to do it soon.

The trees are only 6 feet tall right now and can be moved but I hate to do it unless they really do grow too big. The info I've seen gave a range of 10-20ft tall and 3-8 ft wide. 10 ft tall by 3ft wide is the size I want. Cedars are no good in my area for foundation planting because they end up dying back and with large brown patches all over.
