Tall Skinny Trees for Landscaping

Most columnar trees feature densely-held branches that are strongly fastigiated, which means they reach skyward but stay close to the main trunk. This unique growth habit adds a tremendous amount of visual interest during wintertime.

Use a columnar tree to call attention to a bend in your garden path. Or flank either side of your outdoor entertainment area with a pair. Many use tall skinny trees for privacy, creating a natural screen in even the tightest spaces.

Declare your outdoor entertainment area summer-ready with the bold lines of columnar trees. Plant an informal, organic-looking grove for easy designer style, in the same footprint as a regular sized tree.

Many of these selected trees make beautiful street trees, too. Try an ecologically sound approach by alternating between several tree varieties along your property line.

Perhaps you prefer a formal, symmetrical look with even spacing between your trees. It's true that an even cadence brings a delightful sense of promenade.

But no one ever said a row had to be straight. Columnar trees can bring a sense of whimsy to your landscape.

Use them to create a semi-circle behind your fire pit. Or create a serpentine planting pattern for a fresh take on a classic.

Take this approach with extraordinary evergreen weeping trees like Slenderina Weeping Blue Spruce. You'll gain a conversation starter and focal point with their charming droop.

Don't be afraid to mix columnar trees in with full-size varieties, either. Enliven an effective backdrop of broad evergreen trees with the eye-catching color of columnar deciduous trees from our online nursery.
