Arborvitae - Pyramidalis


"The Pyramidalis arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis, is a tall, slender and compact grower. This evergreen conifer tree is ideal for entrance or corner plantings. The columnar habit of Pyramidalis arborvitae trees makes it an attractive tree for use as a screen or hedge. The bright green foliage is attractive all year. This evergreen species grows best in fertile, well-drained but moist soil, in full sun to light shade. Arborvitae will grow well in both an acidic or alkaline soil. Pruning is seldom required due to the dense growth habit. The moderate growth rate provides an attractive accent tree for your landscaping plans."
