This evergreen conifer has a fast-growing, upright, and densely columnar habit, making it an excellent choice for windbreaks, privacy screens, or hedges. Hardy in Zones 6-10, it tolerates a wide temperature range and thrives in full sun to partial shade. Its foliage consists of rich green, feathery sprays that stay vibrant year-round, providing consistent landscape interest. Preferring well-drained to slightly acidic soils, this plant is adaptable but performs best with moderate watering. Mature height can reach 60-70 feet with a spread of 10-15 feet, and while not deer-resistant, its rapid growth compensates for occasional browsing. It does not display notable fall color or flowers, instead offering a reliable, lush presence throughout the seasons. Its naturally columnar shape can be maintained through occasional pruning, requiring low maintenance once established.
