| I'm trying to find the name of a specific tree we'd like to plant on our land. It's the tall, narrow cedar (?) tree that is often used in graveyards (!). The trunk will often split into 3 or 4 branches, but all of the branches grow straight up and parallel like sentries. I'm in zone 4, in west-central Wisconsin, so I need something fairly hardy. Thank you in advance! |

| Maybe Thuja occidentalis 'Fastigiata'. |

| Thank you both - I think the column-shaped arborvitae is just what we're looking for. |
