Plant Features

The Full Speed A Hedge® American Pillar arborvitae is the epitome of rapid growth combined with a space-saving, slender form. Native to North America, this exceptional variety boasts a growth spurt of over 3 feet each year post its initial establishment, ultimately soaring up to 30 feet. Its innate columnar shape, which stands tall and narrow, negates the need for pruning while providing the perfect solution for unsightly views or narrow confines. Its lush, emerald-green foliage, which takes on a feathery appearance, ensures a verdant screen year-round, ideal for borders, street hedging, or even as a buffer for elevated outdoor spaces like second-story balconies.


The Thuja American Pillar's robust nature is evident in its resilience to extreme weather conditions, be it intense heat, biting cold, strong winds, or ice. This strength, combined with its minimal maintenance requirements, positions it as a top-tier choice for various growing zones. What sets the American Pillar apart from other hedge plants is its unparalleled rapid growth, all the while ensuring it doesn't encroach on valuable yard space. With just four of these plants, one can craft a 12-foot haven of privacy. For those seeking a blend of swift growth, aesthetic appeal, and durability, the American Pillar arborvitae emerges as the unrivaled champion in evergreen hedges. All of our American Pillar arborvitae are shipped landscape-ready and, once planted, stand between 12-20 inches tall.

Comment: Bought about 25 of these plants this year. Again, arrived damage free and healthy. I'm using these on the side of our driveway for privacy from our neighbors that just installed a horrible driveway. These will grow to about 20 ft. and require little maintenance. Just what I wanted. Great compliment to the Fine Line Frangula Plant which i have planted further down our drive where it's a little more narrow. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING  GrowJoy. IT'S LIKE HAVING YOUR OWN LANDSCAPE DESiGN... More details
