Rating for this plant:
This is a very common evergreen tree in the Eastern US. Given plenty of sunlight and room, and good soil, the tree will grow explosively and can mature in as little as 10-15 years. It's great for privacy. Planted a few feet apart, the trees will form a thick wall which cannot be seen through, in a matter of years. It's also great for breaking up wind and casting shade for plants which are susceptible to high winds and strong sun. If conditions are very good, the tree can grow to enormous heights, over 50 feet. There are varieties out there which vary in size and height. Ask an expert.
