Description
With an extremely upright and narrow form that is perfect for use where height is needed but space is limited, the North Pole Arborvitae is a super cold hardy and tough but handsome evergreen conifer that stands up strong to blizzard conditions and frigid cold temperatures down to -40 degrees F! A fast grower for an Arborvitae, it maintains its dense and narrow form with no need for pruning so is ideal for use as a no-maintenance privacy screen or exclamation point in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Just plant this one and watch it grow!
Landscape & Garden Uses
With its upright habit and narrow conical form to 12 to 16 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide, the North Pole Arborvitae is ideal for use as a vertical accent in tight spaces or to frame the corners in home foundation plantings. Also perfect for a mid-height evergreen privacy screen or hedge in situations where space is limited. A fine addition to conifer gardens and the Xeriscape (low water needs) or for use as an outdoor Christmas tree in garden beds or containers.
Suggested Spacing: 3 to 3.5 feet apart for solid privacy screen or hedges; 7 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Arborvitae are very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility, including clay soil, in full sun to light shade. For best performance we suggest a minimum of 7 hours direct sunlight. Constantly soggy or wet soils can be problematic. Maintenance is minimal; very little if any pruning ever required.
