    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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.
    Also, I ordered mine online so they were tall twigs since they were surely propagated from branches m, versus yours that look more like actual trees.
    ⭐️Advice to all: purchase from nurseries or big box stores if you can, most online are just propagated twigs and will take years to widen and fill out.
    Mine were shipped bent over and I had to stake the curved twigs.

    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

    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.

    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.

      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!

    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.

      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 😢😭
