The Full Speed A Hedge® Arborvitae is a new variety of evergreen that gives the slimmest, densest hedges in just a few years, something thought impossible until this plant was discovered. Reaching 20 feet tall, yet staying just 3 feet wide, it grows as much as 4 feet a year under ideal conditions, and 3 feet a year in average gardens, soon giving you a dense, thick hedge that is still slim, and won’t consume your garden space, even if you just have a tiny one. The foliage is lush and dark green year round, and naturally twice as dense as typical arborvitae, so it doesn’t need constant trimming either. Perfect for privacy hedges, wind-breaks and also for striking vertical accents in your beds or out on the lawn, this plant has single-handedly revolutionized hedge growing in America.

  • Grows up to 4 feet a year
  • 20 feet tall and 3 feet wide with a few years
  • Dense, thick foliage that needs no trimming
  • All season green even in zone 3
  • The answer to creating dense, slender hedges in any garden

Give your Full Speed A Hedge® Arborvitae as much sun as possible for the densest, fastest growth, although it will tolerate a little shade each day too. It grows in all types of soil, although light, sandy soils are not so suitable. It even grows in wet areas, and thrives on regular fertilizer applications and regular watering, especially during its early years. Usually ignored by deer and without any serious pests or diseases, it remains rich green year round, even in cold zones, and is hardy all the way into zone 3. Grows best in the cooler zones of the northeast and northwest. Once established plants have moderate tolerance of drought. Trim if needed between late spring and late summer.
