American arborvitae

Thuja occidentalis 'Recurva Nana'

American arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Recurva Nana') is an evergreen conifer, a slow-growing, dwarf selection of the species. It grows to less than 5 feet in height and spreads up to 4 feet wide. Its dense foliage turns a golden yellow-green in winter and stays soft and scaly all year long. Its small, deep green leaves form dense layers, giving it a bold texture and providing an effective windbreak and privacy screen. It thrives in full to part sun and is quite adaptable to a variety of soil conditions. American arborvitae is a perfect choice for an evergreen hedge or border plant in any landscape.
