A fast-growing evergreen with an upright, pyramidal habit, this plant offers year-round interest with its rich green foliage that retains its color even in winter. It is hardy in zones 5–8 and thrives in full sun to partial shade. This tree prefers moist, well-draining soils but can adapt to a wide range of soil types. Its dense foliage provides excellent windbreaks or privacy screens while being deer-resistant, making it an ideal choice for landscapes prone to browsing. Reaching a mature height of 20 to 30 feet and a width of 10 to 12 feet, it forms a graceful, slender profile perfect for tighter spaces. No notable flowers or fruit are produced, but its foliage offers elegant year-round structure.
