Product Description
One of the Fastest Growing Privacy Screens
Why American Pillar Arborvitaes?
The 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.
And there's simply no better option for a privacy screen because it's cheaper than a traditional fence. 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. Even better? It’s resistant to extreme heat, cold, wind, and ice, so it's super strong. A little watering and it's good to grow!
Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better
First, there's no need to worry about replanting - this tree will offer privacy and beauty for generations.

And we ship your American Pillar with its root ball and health intact for best results.

We lost one of ten trees purchased last year, and submitted a claim this fall. Pam responded quickly, and replacement tree arrived beautifully healthy a couple of days after ordering. Very happy with this company, their products and service. Highly Recommend! Barry, Arvada, Colorado

United Statesamerican pillar arborvitae
My order of 2 american pillar arborvitae,3 green giants, and 1 hybrid willow arrived quickly and in great condition. They are in the ground and covered with tomato cages with netting to keep the deer away over the winter. I have 6 green giants from your company ordered several years ago that provide a great screen and are thriving. I find it easier to plant smaller trees in sizes that are not available locally. It takes a couple of years but then they really take off. I highly recommend your product and company.
United StatesGood Value
I ordered a 10-pack of the trees in early September 2019 due to the cheap price. They arrived promptly and all ten of them were at least 1-foot. The roots for one of them appear to be weak as it is not standing straight, but I have planted it anyway and I'm hoping for the best. If it had arrived in good shape like the other nine, I would have given a five-star rating.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: The American Pillar Arborvitae can be planted in any soil or air condition, but it needs to be placed in a spot that receives full sun (6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day). Plant in a hole twice as wide, but just as deep as the root ball. There is no need to amend the soil. Water thoroughly after planting to establish roots.
2. Watering: This tree can tolerate wet or dry conditions. Be sure to water the tree weekly in its young life to ensure proper growth. Try to maintain even moisture for the first year.
3. Pruning: This tree does not require any pruning, fertilizing or pest or disease management. If you want to reduce the size, you can prune off the top once it reaches over 10 feet. This will stunt the growth and allow you to customize your screen size.
