One of the Fastest Growing Privacy Screens
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!

Planting & Care
1. Planting: The Full Speed A Hedge® 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.

United StatesSo Far So Good
44 small American Pillars came nicely packaged in four boxes. I planted the American Pillars the next day after receipt. They appear to be doing fine, see how the winter treats them. I planted them 30” apart to eventually get a privacy hedge. The plants came in a variety of sizes and fullness, nothing unusual .
United StatesHealthy trees. Small, but they will grow
Arrived healthy. Can hardly wait for them to grow! Great roots. Planted them with Myke. (Fungus) we have solid clay soil so trees need all the help they can get. This is a new addition on ****** Kansas land. Can’t find a place to upload photos.

Purchased 20 of these and they arrived well packed and in great condition. Planted them and all but one are doing well so far. For some reason one plant must not of liked me "adopting: it. Have not contacted customer service yet but hopefully they will replace it.

United StatesLittle soldiers
They are doing quite well in their second summer. Looking forward to the privacy they'll create.
United StatesHappy little trees.
Trees arrived healthy and happy. So much so that we placed an immediate second order. They seem happy after one winter in the ground and are showing signs of some new spring growth. Yay! I’m excited to see them grow.
