Previous owner put black plastic around all these pine trees. If I rip it all out is there any hope for them to look normal again? They are all looking pretty scraggly, and the two on the left have such saggy hanging branches :(.
-also wondering how much I need to water them? I have a hose that reaches them, and apparently there are sprinkler pipes out there, but no drips attached or anything yet. Can you possibly explain to me in language a 12-year-old can understand 🙏 I have no frame of reference for gallons per hour as a tree newbie.
Thanks for your help

Take the plastic off…don’t water a 60 foot tree, have you ever been on earth before…

They all look pretty healthy and normal as is, but do rip out the fabric. The two in picture 2 are a completely different species, the first picture are pines, the second picture are two weeping spruces of some sort, that’s how they grow. And they’re not cheap
They look like pretty solid evergreens to me; take out the landscape fabric, water them a bit and see what happens over the next few years. They don’t appear to be in decline.
The two on the left are a different species, they all look fairly normal otherwise.
