A unique globe-formed arborvitae with dense, fine-textured, sage-green foliage. This plant forms a compact ball that doesnt require shearing to maintain its neat form. The soft foliage resembles a fine-needled juniper or false cypress. If you encounter a mature Linesville shrub, you will have a strong urge to give it a hug. The original plant was found in Linesville, PA.
