View full detailsThe fastest growing columnar deciduous tree is the Lombardy Poplar. This columnar shade tree can grow 6 feet or more in a single year! Italian Cypress is a fast growing columnar evergreen tree with a yearly growth rate of 2 to 3 feet. Both of these trees are great for privacy and windbreaks. The Italian Cypress is ideal for tight spaces in your landscape and can be planted as close as 3 feet from your home.
The Italian Cypress is the tallest columnar evergreen tree that we carry. The Emerald Green Arborvitae, Blue Point Juniper, and Hicks Yew all tend toward an upright, narrow habit and grow to between 10 and 15 feet tall. For small columnar trees look to the Sky Pencil Holly and Vokel’s Upright Hinoki Cypress tree. The Hinoki Cypress is a dwarf columnar tree that stays under 5 feet tall. For additional choices, be sure to browse our online garden center.
Dig a hole about twice the width of the root ball and almost as deep. Place your tree level in the hole. This is especially important with tall, narrow trees to maintain a clean, straight, upright look. Be sure the top of the root ball is slightly higher than the existing soil line and backfill with the existing soil. Water deeply until the water begins to pool. Apply 1 to 2 inches of mulch to help the soil retain moisture and reduce weeds.
Fastigiate trees are generally chosen for their natural shape so pruning isn’t often necessary unless you are pruning for height control. It is important to note that topping an evergreen tree can slow upward growth and control height, but it will also result in a wider, bushier tree. Prune broken or dead branches when you notice them. Heavy pruning should generally be performed in late winter or early spring. A trim here and there or a minor shear to keep your tree looking neat can be done anytime except in mid to late fall (depending on your climate). Pruning stimulates new growth that is tender and can be damaged by freezing temperatures.
