Arborvitae - Degroot's Spire
It requires very little pruning. Its striking narrow-columnar form makes it the perfect choice when a strong vertical accent in the garden or landscape is desired.

It's growth rate is a tad on the slow side, but a row of DeGroot's Spire creates an attractive and functional screen, or becomes a handsome green wall for that special outdoor area.

Columnar Swedish Aspen The Columnar Swedish Aspen, Populus tremula 'Erecta', is native to the forests of Sweden. This slender tree is great for smaller spaces, screens and along drives. It is probably the narrowest of the columnar trees. The dark green leaves have a lighter silvery-green underside providing both visual interest and a soothing sound in the breeze and tremble with the faintest whisper of wind, creating the same pleasant rustling sounds as the leaves of Quaking Aspen. This tree is an excellent substitute for a Lombardy Poplar in cooler climates. The fall color can range from orange to red. Somewhat adapted for street and boulevard planting, the Columnar Swedish Aspen will provide both visual interest and a soothing sound to the landscape. |
