Full Speed A Hedge® American Pillar Arborvitae

Thuja occidentalis 'American Pillar'

The Full Speed A Hedge® American Pillar is one of our most popular varieties due to its fast, full growth. After the first year, this tree grows more than 3 feet every year until it reaches its mature height. Plus, since it's extremely narrow, it’s an ideal screen for even tighter spaces.

  • The American Pillar’s dense growth habit and manageable width make it perfect for borders, street hedging and beyond

    Since it can grow up to 30 feet, it's even well-suited as a buffer for second-story balconies and decks

  • It’s resistant to extreme heat, cold, wind, and ice, so it's super strong - a little watering and it's good to grow

Happy Montana Report

A higher rating may be forthcoming. For now, tree arrived in good shape. I planted it and I water it every day. Whether it will rapidly grow to 20 feet is to be determined. Made a couple purchases from Fast Growing Trees in last couple years. Good products that arrive healthy, and good customer service. Gotta love it.....

Ordered 32 to create a privacy hedge on our new property. Arrived quickly and in great condition. Followed planting instructions provided. These little beauties have already doubled in height since we planted this spring - and it's only the first week of July! Very happy with our purchase.

An honest review from Colorado

I purchased 46 of the 3/4 ft full speed a hedge over July/August 2023. I also paid for the warranty which I am glad I did as I lost about a 1/3rd through the Colorado harsh winter, even though I covered them and watered them on days it hit above 40. FGT were fantastic and replaced all the ones I had lost or gave me a credit without any problems. I decided to purchase some 5/6ft to replace some of the lost ones, which arrived in April 2024 and then I purchased 21 Jumbo 6/7ft recently as I want privacy quickly. I have to say that the jumbo are probably more value for money as they seem much fuller than the 5/6ft which are very straggly. The 3/4ft that did survive the winter did go bronze (which I personally think looks pretty) but came back to a beautiful green in the spring. They haven’t grown much in height but are more fuller. If you live in a harsher drier climate they will need lots of water the first year and protection from the winter sun to prevent winter burn. See pics of the 6/7ft jumbo I recently planted and of the 5/6ft planted in April. Overall I am really happy with them, but when purchasing so many be prepared to maybe loose a few depending on where you are in the country. FGT customer care are absolutely fantastic and I definitely will buy from them in future.
