Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This arborvitae (I know sounds boring, but read on). This narrow small growing conifer is the perfect explanation point. Our plant is 4'x1' and is a tight grower, so no pruning needed.

I feel a deep sense of disgust at the mention of ‘Arborvitae’ as they are overused as hedges and trimmed into ugliness in the PNW…but I have to say, this one has some class! Dense, twisted fans of deep green foliage form a slow growing, narrow column that reaches 7’ in height and a mere 2’ wide over 10 years. For a no-prune hedge or perfect for a tight corner or small spot in the garden where a vertical form is needed…or as a potted specimen. Sun, average soil,water.
