⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What has your growth been like since you’ve planted them? I planted a long row last October 2022 in zone 9a and the growth was around 1’. They are supposed to be slower the first year.

Thank you for this video. I recently planted 11 North Pole arborvitaes for my much needed privacy fence, but now I'm regretting it. I have heavy deer traffic so I'm going to have to wrap and protect them over the winter out of fear they'll destroy them. After watching this video I just ordered 10 of these American Pillars and can't wait to plant them. Still deciding if I should plant them in addition to the current North Poles I have or just replace the North Poles with these to avoid the hassle every winter of protecting them
Thank you for the time invested with this charming and educational video. It further reinforces our decision on planting a few for privacy! Unfortunately we don't have a little helper and will have to manage with the luck of mother nature 🌲
This video couldn’t have come at a perfect time! I’m also in NJ (CA transplant) and attempting a similar project w/Arborvitae. 🌲 Thank you so much for your knowledge & advice! ❤ PS - can’t wait to see how your woodland garden comes together! 🥰
Love the American pillar. I have 80 Giants on my property in Central Maryland. Sent this video to mother- in-law for her property which is more compact. Biggest issue I had was bucks rubbing antlers on small stages of trees. They nibble on them a little during rough winters, but only because they're over populated and desperately need food.
You’ve inspired me to start mulling over a design to screen our neighbors’ house. We like them but man, their dining room window looks directly across the meadow to our driveway. I don’t think they can help but gaze in our direction, and ditto for us.
@@ydoyougarden can you post at least a picture of how your hedge is looking now so we can see how things have progressed over the last couple of years please?
Thank you Yuliya, now I know the difference, I will definitely get a couple of Pillar Arborvitaes. You certainly got your workout digging and planting those, they look beautiful!
Those look so pretty. Here in Minnesota, people wrap their arbs with burlap. Between deer and snow, it protects them. My favorite tool is my cordless reciprocating saw. I have removed so many tree roots that way. Rocky situation may not work so well. I have sandy soil.
What a great idea! Yesterday I was dying with all the darn roots when attempting to plant grass where I removed 8 feet of ivy. I mean, where I paid some people to remove 8ft x 70ft of ivy that was taking over my yard.
@@CavalierConfessional Nice thing about the reciprocating saw over chainsaw is it's easy to replace old, dull blades. I use the nearly dull ones for when I know I'll be plunging it into the dirt...a no no for chainsaws. This year, I bought an auger and a cement mixer drill. I plan to do some deep digging for various projects...and strengthen my upper arms. That's heavy!
Oh Yuliya 😂. I had to laugh when you showed your digging on fast speed. I couldn’t tell that you had a pick ax in your hands and I thought you were taking the shovel and trying to kill some wild pest in the hole😂🤣🤪. You worked so hard and are inspirational in your designs. You also give good information about the plants that you are highlighting. Thanks.
I don’t have fence and have deer in my woody backyard, deer have not touch my Pillar arborvitae at all. Growth rate is insane, I got the 14 gallon size, because I want privacy so bad, in one year it has reached over 15 feet tall now, it was about 7 feet when planted last spring at May. Georgia US Vicky
Hello, I am from Toronto, Canada and really like your video, thank you. I planted 12 American pillars last year in my backyard and I watered them by hand every other day. Somehow some of them are still browning. The gardener from where I bought them told me that the American pillars do not like wet feet so do not overwater them. So I left them unwatered for 4 days but more trees look stressed. I stuck my finger into the soil and felt that it is still moist. So I am now confused whether the browning is caused by overwatering or under watering or just too much hot sun facing the line of trees. We get whole day of sun and can get quite hot between noon till 4:00pm in the afternoon. Really appreciate if you can advise me on this.
To everyone, all those red potted evergreens at the big box stores will be half off the day after Christmas or even before. If you buy a bunch, you can probably get an even better deal.
Hi and thank you for info, Yuliya. I only wish I had enough space to plant any of these next to my deck. I only have about a 2' width. I'd love Privacy on my deck from my neighbors view thats right on it, and upclose 🙄 . Hi Mishka 🐾❤️ what a doll 🤗
This past winter 22/23 the rabbits totally destroyed mine. I had a whole hedge and they were 4 years old. I had them fenced in to keep all critters out. Snow got deep and the rabbits could walk right over my fence....and they must have been hungry. Rabbits did eat them down to nothing and they were about 4 ft tall. I used same reasoning as Yuliya when choosing this variety. But I will not plant them again. So heartbroken. They were the pride and joys of my garden! A full hedge, just gone 😢😭
I love your videos. So much helpful information. I would like to plant wisteria by my deck, but I heard that it can damaged my deck. What do you think? Any other recommendations. I saw in you other video recommendations for cup and the saucer vine annuals. It can be also great idea, I think.
Hello I have some American pillar that are newly planted and a few are growing with what looks like 2 main trunks. Would you leave the tree to grow like this or trim them so they only have one main trunk? Thanks for the video and all the info
Come see the arbitvitae that are about twenty years old around the tennis courts that the deer have pruned into lollipops:) at Mercer County Community College!
Good tips, thinking about the backside when planting and knowing their roots are not aggresive. How do you deal with pets urine? My sister planted small 3'-4' fruit trees and the male dog just goes aroung irritating! Could you do a video on this topic. Thanks Yuliya
Great video! Please help me . I m trying to get american pillar arborvitae plant in my garden. Question to help is . Does it growth well in zone 7b long island ny. ? I was told this might be scam tree . Which i m Surprised to hear . Cuz i have done lot of research . Just not enough ppl talked abr zone 7b success
Thanks for sharing with us this project! I was wondering what other evergreen tree can replace our struggling green emerald arborvitae. American Pillar arborvitae would probably be a good choice for us too besides it's hight. What do you think about Junior Green Giant arborvitae?
Hi Yuliya. Where did you get your arbor? I really like it and am looking for something similar. Do you like yours? Thanks for the video! I didn't know about the American Pillar arb.
Where did you buy yours from? I would like to buy them but no one has them, Home depot, Lowe’s, Menards and plant nurseries don’t have these American arborvitae
We have had great luck with "Fast Growing Trees" online for shrubs and perennials for our flower beds. We are ordering 20 (two "10 Packs") American Pillar Arborvitae as soon as I have the planting area cleared for them. The warranty and customer service are great. No, I am not a paid for my endorsement.🙂
Hi Yulia, i just bought 10 emerald green arborvitae from Home Depot and plan on making a separation hedge through my garden to divide a large flowerbed from my vegetable garden . I don’t have a fence to guide me when planting and I’m a bit worried about getting the trees in a straight line , any suggestions?
Use a wooden tomato stake and string to create a line as a guide. Same concept as when a fence is installed. Measure off the string for all of the trees

I was a bit sore, yes 😂
Hey you make an update video on the American. Pillar hedge?
I have all the same thing in my yard. Roots and rocks. I sometimes wish I had a person to just dig holes. You did so good.
I have a thuja in a container. They are easy to grow & one of my fav arb. Please update us on the progress. Can’t wait to see them grow.
He’s the cutest!!
Thank you! 😊
Those are beautiful! Will be a great screen and lovely back drop for other plantings in front of them.
Those will be so beautiful once they grow up and fill in! Your doggie is so cute!
Thank you !

Thank you again this video was a great help these American Pillars will for my screening projdct.
Thanks for the good information about each one!
R n R lol I’m very familiar with those conditions. Pick ax on my wish list
Awe! Love your yard! What a 💓 Doggie
Thank you! 😊
They will look so good when they fill in.
Can't wait!

Look into the ‘ Thin Man’ varieties. Really narrow!
@@ydoyougarden Oh .. didn't see you replied. Thank You Yulia!!! ❤️
Do you have an update on these trees?
Yes! will do soon! Overall they are doing great, few a little wonky
Any updates? And how far apart did you end up planting them?
Coming soon!
What about rabbits and american pillars? We have a lot of rabbits between my neighbors yards and mine... will they ruin the american pillars?

It's an issue. The two spots he prefers is the boxwood hedge and the lawn. I fence the boxwoods and water the lawn a bit extra to wash down the urine.
Are there updated pics of these trees? I am looking to get these trees because it is similar to emerald green.
Going to do an update soon! They are doing well, however got a little floppy over the winter and I had to stale them. Definitely didn’t expect that

Yes, as Kristopher said a string with couple of stakes should be a sufficient guide.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰
Problem is American Pillars are too expensive .
They are 🙈 but they were right for this spot. Green giants that are half the price would have swallowed so much space
How much did they cost roughly each?
Update pic or video
Coming soon! 😊
