@@user-kp3ib5jd2pI live in north Georgia (zone 7A). The man who owns the patent for these species lives in Georgia so I was able to get them in quarts for wholesale price. Two years later, they are five feet…so they are averaging two feet a year. Wonderful option!
I have 6 of these, deer eat my other plants right near by these but they didn’t touch a single branches. These grow very fast, I bought in in 14 gallons, they have add near 4 feet in height in one single year. I didn’t even mulch it!
HI Heidi. Thanks for this wonderful video. I heard you recommend ~4 ft spacing in the video. Is that the spacing that is shown in the landscape that you have behind you in the video? I have heard others recommend 2.5-3 ft (including on the tag). I love the look in the video (which allows a little more spacing at the top to see the peaks and lets some sunlight through), and I am wondering if you base the 4' recommendation on that spacing? Thanks again!
I wish I could find a video like this for the thin man arborvitae! It’s also full speed a hedge but it looks like they’re thicker so I’m very interested in them
Very informative. Beautiful solution! I wish you had gotten a little closer so we could see the leaf details. But otherwise thanks for the education. 🌳🌳🌳
Amazing garden! Can American Pillars be planted near a full-sized oak tree? The rest of my lot is open, but I’m trying to figure out if I should stop the hedge where the tree is and plant something smaller and shade tolerant.
they seem sparse in the body like you can see through them, they dont get dense? because looking for privacy for a second story deck and from your vid, looks like you can see through the trees since not thick and dense?
hi, Will these stay green in a zone 5 environment all winter? I was told, when I bought some Green Giant Arborvitae, only their tips will turn bronze/brown in winter. In fact the entire plant turns brown with temps only in the low teens*F. Yes, they are turning green again but I'm looking for something that grows fast and stays green all winter, even with snow on it. Will these stay green or only stay alive in a zone 4 winter? Thank you.
I've been watching many videos of arborervitie, and learning more about how to use them in landscaping, this size sure makes for a beautiful backdrop for the perennials and Annuals, I will use several types, still looking for that perfect home now
THESE TREES ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR ZONE 8 (NORTH TEXAS). THEY GET SO STRESSED OUT WITH THE HEAT, THEY WILL DIE. Just a heads up to people who are looking to plant these trees in Zone 8 (North Texas). I planted over 30 trees around my property for privacy they all died. These trees got so stressed with the summer heat/drought, they started to turn yellow and died within a week. It's misleading for nurseries to advertise these trees are suitable for Zone 8 (North Texas). Certainly, they are not. Just for transparency, these trees were watered regularly and hand mulch all around them. I'm so disappointed because I was looking forward to have a beautiful privacy edge. 😞The rest of my trees/edges are doing just fine.
Zone listings (8) can be different from state to state. Some zone 8 are very hot and other may not be as hot. Some areas are more dry and others more humid. I am sorry these did not work in your garden. This may not be the same case for all located in a zone 8.
@@gardencrossings thank you. I do understand not all zone 8 is the same, that’s why I specify North Texas. I was really excited since the trees were growing fast (although I got them little), they were green and getting thicker, but the summer heat arrived and all got so stressed. Just wanted to share my experience so other people within my same location conditions don’t have to go through this.

Wow, what a beautiful landscape! I just bought 32 of these and can’t wait until they get this height.
Good choice! They make a great natural fence.
Hi I just came across your comment and wanted to ask how did it go for you a year later? And which zone are you in ? Thank you!

Thank you for sharing. I had not heard of this variety. What a stunning backdrop to this garden!
It is such a cool plant to create privacy.
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much Heidi! 🇨🇦
You are so welcome!
This is one of the most beautiful spaces I’ve seen with so much complimentary variety!😍😍😍
This is an amazing garden.
I’m planting 150, I planned on putting them 2 and a half foot centers. I have a large apartment building next door and I don’t want to see a thing
That will certainly create a wall.
Wish we could see more of this beautiful garden!
I have a 4 part series of this garden that was posted this fall.
Thank you so much for this video. What are the differences and similarities between these to
Emerald green arborvitae’s?
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful specimens.
Thank you! This is a great display at the trail garden.
OMG they're so beautiful. I need these in my life.
They make a great hedge!
I have 6 of these, deer eat my other plants right near by these but they didn’t touch a single branches. These grow very fast, I bought in in 14 gallons, they have add near 4 feet in height in one single year. I didn’t even mulch it!
Oh wow!
Wow that's great! How did you get them to grow so fast?
Beautiful landscape- fences can go only so high-
Thank you
Very valid point! I just ordered some today! 🇺🇦🇺🇸🤜
Love them, especially how slim they are! How mature are the ones you're showing in this video?
This is not my garden, but if I had to say I am guessing them to be about 5 ish years old.
@@gardencrossings Thanks Heidi :)

It will depend on how fast you want the plant to touch. I recommend 4' so they don't get crowded
@@gardencrossings so are those in the video 4 ft or not? Inquiring minds would like to know. ty

I have taken a few pictures of Thin Man in the trail gardens, but there are none yet that are that mature. The tallest i have seen is about 5ft.

That worked well. Thank you! 🌱
Amazing garden! Can American Pillars be planted near a full-sized oak tree? The rest of my lot is open, but I’m trying to figure out if I should stop the hedge where the tree is and plant something smaller and shade tolerant.
As long as they are far enough from the tree that it doesn't grow into in you should be fine
So beautiful.
Thank you! 😊
We planted ours last Fall and noticing recently 8a metro Atlanta that they are getting a little orange in the center. Any advice.
Make sure that are getting plenty of water. They maybe could also use some fertilizer.
So stunning wow
Thank you! 😊
these are wonderful. How old are these that youve shown in the video ? & growing zones please.
I believe these are around 5 years old. Zone 3-8

@@gardencrossings Whoa these are incredibly fast growers
What does "not deer resistant" mean? Do the deer eat them?
Yes, there is a good chance that the deer will eat them.
they seem sparse in the body like you can see through them, they dont get dense? because looking for privacy for a second story deck and from your vid, looks like you can see through the trees since not thick and dense?
If you are looking for second story privacy you may want to select a tree that gets taller and larger.
How old are these in the video?
This is a trial garden I am not sure.

They should stay green all winter.
Are they rabbit resistant?
We personally have nto had issues but it can be a plant that they may browse
... what a beautiful day there and what a beautiful garden! These arborvitaes are spectacular specimens! 🤗👩🏼🌾💚🍂🍁 =^..^=
I love how the cloud is kissing the tips of each of them also.
How is it different from emerald green?
The size and rate of growing is different.
Those are huge.
They are. I love the border/hedge they created. This is in the trial garden
@@gardencrossings where can I buy them? I'm in Des Moines Iowa.
we sell them online www.gardencrossings.com/product/thuja-american-pillar-arborvitae-western/
Are they good for the Kentucky area?
Yes they are. Hardy in zone 3-8.

Where can I buy these? And will they survive in southwestern Ontario?
If you are in the USA we can ship them to you.

they don’t seem very dense. or does it just look like that through video.
They are dense and narrow.

Deer food! Don't use if you have deer around.
Thuja are certainly not deer resistant.
The deer haven’t touched my American Pillars and I have have dozens on them walking through my property everyday.
Deer will eat anything if they are hungry enough. However they usually will not bother these.
If I was hungry enough I would eat bark off a tree.
