THUJA OCCIDENTALIS ‘FASTIGIATA’ / PYRAMID CEDAR
Tall, Elegant, and Perfect for Privacy Screens
Thuja Occidentalis ‘Fastigiata,’ commonly known as Pyramid Cedar, is a fast-growing evergreen prized for its dense, upright growth and striking columnar form. Its rich green foliage provides year-round beauty, making it an excellent choice for hedging, windbreaks, and property borders. With minimal maintenance and strong adaptability, ‘Fastigiata’ is a top pick for gardeners and landscapers seeking a reliable and elegant privacy solution.
Why Choose Thuja ‘Fastigiata’?
Comparison: ‘Fastigiata’ differs from other Thuja varieties like ‘Emerald’ Cedar by offering a slightly wider, more robust structure with faster growth. It forms a dense, uniform hedge quicker than many other cedars, making it an efficient choice for instant privacy.
Companions: Complements other evergreens such as ‘Brandon’ Cedar or ‘Black Cedar’ for a varied texture, and pairs well with flowering shrubs like Hydrangea or Ninebark for seasonal color contrast.
Key Features:
- Tall, Dense Growth: Reaches impressive heights while maintaining a narrow, upright form, perfect for privacy and wind protection.
- Fast-Growing: Quickly establishes itself, making it ideal for homeowners looking for an immediate impact in their landscape.
- Low Maintenance: Requires little pruning to maintain its natural pyramid shape, while also being drought-tolerant once established.
- Cold-Hardy & Resilient: Thrives in a wide range of climates, withstanding harsh winters and resisting browning.
- Year-Round Beauty: Keeps its rich green color throughout all seasons, enhancing landscapes with its elegant presence.
Specifications:
- Mature Height: 5–7 m tall
- Mature Width: 1.5–2 m wide
- Growth Rate: Fast (30–60 cm per year)
- Sun Exposure: Full sun to partial shade
- Hardiness: Zone 3–8
Thuja ‘Fastigiata’ is the perfect solution for those seeking a fast-growing, hardy, and visually appealing privacy screen. Whether planted as a hedge, windbreak, or standalone feature, its strong growth and lush green foliage make it a standout choice for any landscape.
Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
