Full Speed A Hedge® American Pillar Arborvitae
Thuja occidentalis 'American Pillar'
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.
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
- It’s resistant to extreme heat, cold, wind, and ice, so it's super strong - a little watering and it's good to grow

Awesome Awesome Awesome
I am absolutely please with my Full Speed Hedge American Arborvitae trees. I bought the 3-4 6 pack. The trees arrived in a timely manner. Well Packaged for protection with healthy high quality trees inside. Customer service is fabulous . I called because few branches on my Dynamic Crape Myrtle tree were broken upon arrival. They immediately replaced the damaged tree. I’m very satisfied. Did I mention the support from the expert nursery consultants. Fast Growing Trees is my go to for any plants, flowers, fruit trees etc. Thank you
Seems alright so far
Planted a few weeks ago and they are doing alright. A few of the trees were bent into the box at a weird angle and are growing crooked, hopefully they right themselves over time
Before and After - One Year
Doing well after one full year In May 2023 I Purchased 11 of the 3-4’ tall size for along a driveway fence here in Cape Cod. They came in great shape and I planted them within a 1-2 days as per instructions. A year later - May 2024 they are thriving. Very happy with how these are doing- they look healthy, have held up well in our New England weather. I will update next year!
Very happy!
Just received 8 of these today, they were in great shape. They pack them very nice! Cant wait to plant them!
Impressed
I ordered 8 4-5’ American Pillars at a great price. They arrived thoughtfully packaged and in great shape. I can’t put them in the ground yet because the area near where they’re going is under construction. I just jumped on the price as soon as I saw it. They’re hanging out potted on my deck for now and they’re gorgeous. I’m really glad I took the chance on purchasing the trees through this company!
