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!

Arrived alive and on time
I planted a couple days after arrival, they appear to be healthy, I’ve been watering everyday. Only time will tell if they take root and grow as expected.

Packaging was excellent! I purchased 17 with the size varying between 4’, 5’, and 6’ jumbo. As per your directions, I have planted them 2’ apart and have been watering once every day. So far, they are looking good.
