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!
What is a Jumbo Full Speed A Hedge® American Pillar Arborvitae Tree?
Jumbo trees are the most mature plants offered at Fast Growing Trees. Thanks to their well-developed root systems and large container size of 10-15 gallons, they deliver superior drought resistance, enhanced mineral absorption, and fuller growth. They're the perfect choice for instant privacy and a more established look in your landscape.
Grown in limited quantities, Jumbos are a premium option for those looking to make an immediate impact in their yard.

Very nice tree!
Ordered my tree with easy online ordering. Great communication up to delivery. Only one tree was delivered so I contacted customer service and another one is on its way. Overall a great experience!

Healthy, Beautiful Arborvitaes & Excellent Shipping.
We ordered eight 5–6 foot American Pillar Arborvitaes from FastGrowingTrees. com last spring for our backyard privacy line here in Wisconsin (Zone 5 / 53098), and they have done SO well. We were honestly nervous ordering trees online at first, but the quality completely exceeded our expectations. They arrived quickly, packaged really well, and looked healthy right out of the box. Over the last year they’ve filled in beautifully and have grown a lot already. They’ve handled our wind, sun, and winter much better than expected too. This spring we ordered three more American Pillars from Fast Growing Trees to continue the fence line, and they actually arrived even more full and dense than two similar 5–6 foot arborvitaes we ordered from a different company around the same time. The difference in quality was pretty obvious immediately. We’re extremely happy with the overall experience — shipping, packaging, tree quality, and customer experience have all been great. We’ll definitely be ordering from Fast Growing Trees again next spring to finish the rest of our fence line. Highly recommend if you’re looking for healthy privacy trees that actually show up looking good!

The fast growing hedge is working out well with the decor of my yard. I have had them a year, there starting to grow now that they have established a good root system. Highly recommend
