Used as a tall hedge or screen, it is also planted in groves. Thrives in most soils and climates. Tolerates strong winds.

Use this conifer, which may grow 3 feet in a season, for a fast hedge or windbreak. Cut back when it reaches the height you want. Tolerates coastal and exposed sites. Resists root rot. Prone to canker.
