Product Information:
The Versatile & Elegant American Arborvitae
Discover the enduring appeal of the American Arborvitae ( Thuja occidentalis ), a graceful evergreen belonging to the Cypress family of trees. Native to Eastern North America (USDA Hardiness Zones 3-7), this highly popular conifer is a staple in landscaping projects across a wide range of climates due to its adaptability and attractive, dense foliage.

Ideal for Landscape Design & Privacy: The American Arborvitae is incredibly versatile, often used to accent pathways and garden features, creating a soft, green backdrop. Its naturally dense growth habit and conical to pyramidal shape make it an excellent choice for row planting, forming effective windbreaks and privacy screens. Its soft, scale-like, emerald-green needles provide year-round color and texture to your property.

Important Growing Considerations: While easily grown in sunny locations and tolerant of many soil types, the American Arborvitae performs best in high moisture locations with consistent soil dampness. It has a lower tolerance to dry winter winds, which can cause browning or desiccation, particularly in exposed sites or very arid climates. For successful establishment in wind-prone or very dry regions (like much of Wyoming), consider providing winter protection or planting in more sheltered areas with supplemental watering.

Key Landscape Benefits:

• Dense, Attractive Foliage: Provides excellent year-round greenery and visual interest.
  
  
• Versatile Use: Ideal for hedges, privacy screens, windbreaks, accents, and foundation plantings.
  
  
• Easy to Grow: Adapts to a variety of soils and thrives in full sun.
  
  
• Native Eastern Evergreen: A natural fit for many North American landscapes.

Bring timeless elegance and functional beauty to your garden with the classic American Arborvitae.
