Tall Thin Evergreen

18 years ago

I am looking for some tall thin evergreens to plant along the side of my patio for a screen and a nice look. Would like a tree that gets 20 or better high. Any suggestions for me? The area is only about 10 foot wide and was hoping to get 4 to 5 trees planted.

Thanks for your help!!

Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Wintergreen'/'Wintergreen' is ideal.

Great medium green and fan like sprays of foliage and stays 100% green during winter where most other Thuja's bronze.

Are there any Thujas that might do well in a more arid, high desert climate (with extra water of course)?

With the Hetz can you trim back to keep it at a 3 foot dia.? and it will fill out?
thanks!
