Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Distinctive! The unusual spiral arrangement of the branches and lovely blue-green foliage sprays distinguish this arborvitae from all others. A wonderfully useful screen or windbreak, these pretty trees reach 20-30' tall and only 6-9' wide. Also makes a fine specimen plant. Not recommended in deer country, they will eat the soft growth in winter. S/M
