A fast-growing evergreen conifer valued for its dense, columnar growth habit and rich green foliage that provides excellent screening and wind protection. Its rapid growth rate makes it ideal for creating high hedges or privacy screens in a short time, while its tolerance of regular pruning allows for easy maintenance at desired heights. Thriving in most soil types and coastal conditions, it withstands exposure and pollution, making it suitable for urban and rural landscapes alike. Though vigourous, it responds well to trimming and forms a thick, uniform barrier that remains attractive year-round. A practical choice for gardeners needing quick, effective screening solutions in larger spaces.
