Full Speed A Hedge® American Pillar Arborvitae

Thuja occidentalis 'American Pillar'

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.

  • 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.

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!

Quality Trees

We were looking to put in a natural privacy fence and did a lot of research on different plants and tree companies. We finally settled on FGT and ordered 20 American pillars and 6 skip laurels. We couldn’t be more pleased with the plants that arrived. They all looked very healthy and were packaged securely for the long journey. We can’t wait to see how they grow in a few years! Highly recommend this company. We will definitely be repeat customers.
