    You didn't say exactly how tall and thin, but here are a few that you can pick from.

    Abies lasiocarpa (Sub-alpine Fir) - 30'-50' h x 10'-15' w (needs well drained soil)

    - Zone 2

    Calocedrus decurrens (Incense Cedar) - 50' h x 10' w (tolerates heat, drought, and poor soil)

    - Zone 5

    Cedrus atlantica glauca 'Fastigiata' (Columnar Blue Atlas Cedar) - 30' h x 6'-8' w (upright, dense branching)

    - Zone 5

    Juniperus virginiana 'Skyrocket' (Skyrocket Juniper) - 25' h x 5' w (very narrow with silvery-grey foliage)

    - Zone 3

    Picea glauca pendula (Weeping White Spruce) - 20'-30' h x 5'-10' w (very formal, narrow, conical shape with stiff downward hanging branches and soft, light gray-green needles)

    - Zone 2

    Pinus flexilis glauca 'Vanderwolfe Pyramid' (Vanderwolf's Pine) - 20'-30' h x 10'-15' w (pyramidal shape that broadens with age and blue-green needles)

    - Zone 4

    Pinus nigra 'Arnolds Sentinel' (Arnolds Sentinel Pine) - 25' h x 7' w (Columnar with dark green needles with dense upright branches)

    - Zone 4

    Pinus strobus fastigiata (Columnar Eastern White Pine) - 20'-25' h x 4'-8' w (upright and narrow with long slender blue-green needles)

    - Zone 4

    Tall Thin Evergreen Trees

    Arbor Vitae. These are the tall thin evergreen trees you see planted in rows for natural fencelines and privacy. They can also be planted alone for small areas where you would like some year-round green beyond a simple shrub. They'll be very easy to find at a nursury in Ohio.

    Several types of Junipers, grow to maybe 20' tall. Check with a local nursery and see what is available.

    Italian Cypress.

    A white pine is not a "thin tree." If you live in a climate where it can grow, one of the cypresses like they grow in Italy would be great.

    Emerald cedar is a good one. They get to be about 6 feet accross..They are pyramid type with about 6 stalks in the center. I prefer them to the regular one trunk cedar as they cant get blown over or break

    thujas are often used as windbreaks and privacy screens. Also arbor vitaes. Lombardy poplars are not evergreen.
