Brandon Cedar
What: A narrowly columnar evergreen tree (Thuja occidentalis ‘Brandon’) with bright green foliage that remains attractive year-round. This hardy cedar grows to 20 feet tall with a slender 8-foot spread, making it an excellent vertical accent in the landscape.
Best use: Ideal for creating dramatic vertical accents, tall privacy screens, and hedges in home landscapes. Its rigid, spire-like form makes a stunning architectural statement, while its hardiness makes it an excellent performer for prairie landscapes.
