What is Columnar tree?
What is Columnar tree? A columnar tree is a tree with a naturally narrow, upright, and vertical growth habit, often described as having a “stovepipe” or “columnar” shape. These trees are typically taller than they are wide, with a height-to-width ratio of 5-to-1 or greater. They are a popular choice for landscaping in smaller spaces where a traditional, spreading tree would be too large. A great choice for privacy screens
