Why Full Speed A Hedge® American Pillar Arborvitaes?
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.
And there's simply no better option for a privacy screen because it's cheaper than a traditional fence. The Full Speed A Hedge® 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!

Arborvitae Hedge is growing!
The trees arrived healthy and well packaged. They are planted along my north fence and thriving.
Beautiful natural form, excellent investment
My Full Speed A Hedge trees have grown very fast and look wondeful. I'm posting a review after 5 years of growth I received them in May 2020 in a 12 pack of 1-2'. After 3 years they were 6-8' tall and after 5 years they are 12-15' tall (images of both years included) My soil is sandy loam, zone 4. One died the first year, not sure why. The first year I watered them 2-3 times a week with a sprinkler on for half an hour. Year two I didn't water them and it showed, growth was slow. Years 3 and 4 they got a lot of rain and really shot up after that. They were laying totally flat on the ground during winter the first two years with heavy snow and bounced back up come spring. Trunk circumference measured at 4. 5' is 7. 5"
American pillar 1 tall healthy plants
My American pillar arbs are doing fine so far! They arrived in great shape. Nice healthy little plants. Looking forward to next year when they grow!
Great shape
This is my first time ordering trees online and I was very skeptical. I ordered 25 of these trees and expected there to be a couple bad ones or not in great shape but every single tree was healthy. Had a great root ball and is doing well on the ground. .
Beautiful trees!
The arborvitae are beautiful. They're going to provide privacy and look lovely. This is a much nicer alternative to a wooden fence.
