Columnar Tree Illustration
 

Columnar

Columnar trees are shaped like columns or cylinders, with branches of uniform length -- top to bottom. They aren't necessarily narrow, but they appear to be because of the branching pattern. Many commonly known trees are available in columnar versions.

Examples: cherry, European hornbeam, Lombardy poplar, red maple, quaking aspen, sugar maple, tuliptree
