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!

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.
Fertilizing
Your American Pillar should not need any extra fertilizer unless you notice stalled growth. If you notice slower growth, apply a balanced tree and shrub fertilizer at the beginning of spring.
Pruning
You won’t have to prune this tree if you are growing it with enough space for it to spread naturally. If you’re growing several American Pillars closely together, you can shear yearly after the final frost of the season.Shipping Details

United StatesSaturday afternoon we planted 20 of these, 4' apart, 2' from the fence line. In the spring we'll plant at least another 10. They'll eventually block our view of the neighbor's unsightly shed, and future shop.
United StatesTrees were health when they arrived. I bought 10 to add to my screen. Very good and they are "fast growing trees"
United StatesBought these after researching fastest growing evergreens that take up the least amount of space that are easy to maintain...well these are the ones! Had them in the ground here in NC for about 2 weeks now and they are looking great. Bought 20 of the 1-2ft since they were on sale. Excited to see them grow and become a nice privacy fence for us! Attached pictures planted 9/30/20 and current time 10/13/20
United StatesIs this American Pillar deer resistant?
United StatesFantastic. All 10 look great. Thx
