Is Now a Good Time to Plant?

Yes! Fall is one of the best times to plant!

Landscaping experts often recommend planting in fall instead of waiting until spring. Here’s why:

  • Cooler weather puts less stress on newly planted trees and shrubs.
  • Fall soil is still warm, which helps roots grow and get established.
  • Cooler temperatures mean less water is lost through the leaves, making it easier for plants to stay hydrated.
  • Even after top growth slows for winter, roots continue developing below ground.
  • Fall weather often brings more rain and less heat, making new plants easier to care for.
  • By spring, your plants already have a head start. Their established roots can support strong new leaves, branches, and flowers.
  • Trees planted in spring must establish their roots while also dealing with rising temperatures and summer heat.

Plant this fall, and your trees can spend the cooler months getting settled instead of waiting until spring to get started!

Planting your Private Jet™ Arborvitae

Planting Instructions for Private Jet Arborvitae

  1. Choosing the Right Location: Plant Private Jet Arborvitae in USDA zones 3 through 7 in full sun to partial sun. Six or more hours of direct sun produces the densest, fullest foliage, while too much shade makes it thin and open. Avoid spots shaded by larger trees or buildings. It grows 15 to 25 feet tall and only 4 to 5 feet wide.
  2. Soil Preparation: Private Jet adapts to many soils but needs good drainage. Loosen the soil over a wide area and mix in compost if you have heavy clay or very sandy soil.
  3. Planting: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep, setting the top of the root ball level with the ground. For a dense privacy screen, space plants about 3 to 4 feet apart, measured center to center. Space them wider if you want individual columns.
  4. Mulching and First Watering: Water deeply right after planting. Spread 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature, keeping it a few inches from the trunk.

Care Instructions

  1. Watering: Water deeply once or twice a week during the first growing season, more often in hot, dry weather. Once established, it is drought-tolerant. In the warmest part of its range, regular watering during summer heat keeps the foliage healthy.
  2. Fertilizing: Feed in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer made for evergreens, following label rates. Avoid late-summer feeding, which can push tender growth before winter.
  3. Pest and Disease Monitoring: Check for bagworms, which look like small hanging cones, and spider mites, which cause dull, speckled foliage in hot, dry weather. Remove bagworms by hand and rinse mites off with water. Some interior browning each fall is normal shedding.

Maintenance and Long-Term Care

  1. Pruning: Little pruning is needed thanks to its naturally narrow, upright form. If desired, lightly trim in spring or early summer to shape it. Avoid cutting back into old, bare wood, since arborvitae rarely regrow from leafless stems.
  2. Winter Care: Private Jet handles cold northern winters well and stays green year-round. Water well before the ground freezes to help prevent winter browning, and gently shake heavy snow off the branches to prevent splaying.
  3. Growing in Containers: It works well in large containers for urban gardens, balconies, and framing patios. Use a heavy, sturdy pot with drainage holes to keep the tall, narrow tree stable, and water more often than in-ground plants.

Additional Tips for Growing Private Jet Arborvitae

  1. Fast Privacy: Private Jet often adds about 1 to 2 feet per year once established in good conditions. Full sun, regular watering in the first few years, and good drainage help it reach screening height faster.
  2. Deer Protection: Deer can browse arborvitae, especially in winter when other food is scarce. In areas with heavy deer pressure, wrap lower foliage with netting or use repellents in late fall to keep the screen full.

Beware- not all Private Jet™ Arborvitae are the same.

Be sure to get superior evergreens, grown by experts.

Better Roots Make Stronger Plants: Some nurseries send you "bare root" evergreens to save on shipping. Even worse, others have started digging them right out of the ground before shipping. This causes major transplant shock and long-term damage. We send you Private Jet™ Arborvitae in soil-filled containers- ensuring a well-developed root system that will explode with growth!

Healthy Plants: We've seen other nurseries grow tall evergreens in tiny pots to save on shipping. This leads to a "root bound" tree, where the roots have outgrown their pot- they cannot absorb water and nutrients. They quickly dry out during shipment, leading to an unhealthy tree.

Private Jet™ Arborvitae is a sleek, narrow evergreen that gives you tall privacy without taking up much ground.

  • Tall, slim shape: grows 15-25 ft. tall but only 4-5 ft. wide
  • Fast-growing: often adds about 1-2 ft. per year once established
  • Easy privacy screen: plant 3-4 ft. apart for a solid evergreen wall
  • Emerald-green year-round and cold hardy in zones 3-7

Not all plants are created equal

The Difference Is in the Roots

Every plant we ship has grown in a nursery container with its roots protected, so it arrives healthy, established and ready to thrive in your yard.

Nationwide Plants Other Nurseries
How it's grown Grown in a nursery container, roots protected the whole time Pulled or dug from the field, tearing fragile roots
How it arrives Arrives in its pot with soil intact Arrives bare root, exposed and drying out

Root health Strong, well-developed roots with room to grow Crammed into a small pot until it's root bound
Height Measured from the top of the soil Often includes the pot and roots
After planting Settles in quickly with less transplant shock Arrives stressed and can take years to recover, if it does

The height you see is the height you plant.

We measure every plant from the top of the soil, not the bottom of the pot. Many nurseries include the pot and roots, so a "5–6 ft." tree from them might stand only 4 ft. tall once it's planted.

Comparisons reflect common practices across the online plant industry, not any single company.

Honest Measurements: Some nurseries measure trees including the pot and roots, so their "3-4 ft." tree may only be about half that size when planted. We measure all of our plants from the soil line, so the height you see is what you can expect after planting.

From our nursery to your door

How We Ship Your Plants

Every order is hand-selected, watered and carefully packed so it arrives healthy and ready to plant. Here's what happens after you place your order.

  1. Hand-Picked for You

    Our team selects the best plant available for your order. For privacy trees, that's the tallest and fullest. For fruit trees, it's the best branched.

    Why it matters: Many online nurseries ship whatever is next in the row.

  2. A Deep Drink Before the Trip

    Every plant gets a thorough watering right before it's packed, so it starts the journey fully hydrated.

  3. Roots Sealed In

    We wrap the pot and roots in plastic to lock in moisture, so your plant has water to drink all the way to your door.

    Why it matters: Bare-root plants are often shipped with their roots exposed and drying out.

  4. Braced for the Ride

    Cardboard inserts are secured inside every box to hold your plant in place, so it won't slide, tip or get damaged in transit.

  5. Shipped Only by FedEx

    We ship your trees exclusively with FedEx. We've found they deliver the fastest and handle live plants the most gently.

And if anything goes wrong, every plant is backed by our 1 Year Warranty.

Healthy Roots Make a Huge Difference

  • Never buy bare-root plants. These trees are starved of nutrients, and have a low survival rate.
  • Beware of nurseries cut corners by growing in small pots. These "rootbound" plants are weak, struggle to absorb nutrients, and die quickly after planting.
  • Some nurseries try to sell oversized plants, but chop off vital roots so they can cram the rootball into a narrow box to save on shipping!

You Want Private Jet™ Arborvitae Grown by Experts

Some nurseries ship tall but skinny arborvitae that were grown in tiny pots to save money. These "root bound" trees struggle after planting and take much longer to fill in your privacy screen.

Nationwide Plants only sends you strong Private Jet™ Arborvitae, selected and cared for by our plant experts, with healthy, developed root systems. That means they settle in quickly and start building your tall, narrow screen sooner.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Private Jet™ Arborvitae

How tall does Private Jet Arborvitae get?

Private Jet Arborvitae grows about 15 to 25 feet tall and only 4 to 5 feet wide. Its narrow, columnar shape provides plenty of height for screening without taking up much ground space, making it ideal for smaller yards and tight spots.

How far apart should I plant Private Jet Arborvitae for privacy?

For a dense privacy screen, plant Private Jet Arborvitae about 3 to 4 feet apart, measured center to center. Because each plant grows 4 to 5 feet wide, that spacing lets neighboring trees knit together into a solid evergreen wall. Space them wider for individual columns.

How fast does Private Jet Arborvitae grow?

Private Jet Arborvitae grows quickly into a dense hedge, often adding about 1 to 2 feet per year once established in good conditions. Full sun, regular watering during the first few years, and good soil drainage help it reach screening height faster.

What zones does Private Jet Arborvitae grow in?

Private Jet Arborvitae grows in USDA zones 3 through 7. It handles cold northern winters well and stays lush and green year-round. In the warmest part of its range, regular watering during summer heat helps keep the foliage healthy. It is a solid choice for northern privacy screens.

How much sun does Private Jet Arborvitae need?

Private Jet Arborvitae grows best in full sun to partial sun. Six or more hours of direct sun produces the densest, fullest foliage. In too much shade, arborvitae can become thin and open, which reduces its value as a privacy screen.

Is Private Jet Arborvitae evergreen?

Yes, Private Jet Arborvitae is evergreen and keeps its rich emerald-green foliage year-round, even through winter. That makes it a dependable choice for year-round privacy, windbreaks, and structure along driveways, patios, and property lines. Plant it where it will not be shaded by larger trees or buildings.

How often should I water Private Jet Arborvitae?

Water Private Jet Arborvitae deeply once or twice a week during its first growing season, more often in hot, dry weather. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and adaptable to many soils. Watering well before the ground freezes helps prevent winter browning.

Can Private Jet Arborvitae grow in a container?

Yes, Private Jet Arborvitae works well in large containers, making it ideal for urban gardens, balconies, and framing patios. Use a heavy, sturdy pot with drainage holes to keep the tall, narrow tree stable, and water more often than in-ground plants.

Do deer eat Private Jet Arborvitae?

Deer can browse arborvitae, especially in winter when other food is scarce, so Private Jet may need protection in areas with heavy deer pressure. Wrapping lower foliage with netting or using repellents in late fall helps keep the screen full.

Does Private Jet Arborvitae need pruning?

Private Jet Arborvitae needs little pruning thanks to its naturally narrow, upright form. If desired, lightly trim in spring or early summer to shape it. Avoid cutting back into old, bare wood, since arborvitae rarely regrow from leafless stems. Shake heavy snow off the branches to prevent splaying.
