Evergreen Thuja occidentalis (Arborvitae)
Color Name: Spring Grove
The solution to deer problems! This fast-growing, cold-hardy selection of Western Arborvitae shows excellent resistance to deer browsing. Spring Grove was selected for its superior winter color and hardiness. It maintains a dark green, glossy color even in Midwest winters, and has survived -25 degree temperatures. The tight pyramidal habit works nicely in landscape designs. Its hardiness and deer resistance make it suitable for many suburban locations, especially for creating fast-growing privacy screens.
Growing Tips: Tolerates heat and drought once established. Keep watered after pruning to minimize browning; this is also an effective strategy to minimize winter damage to foliage in cold areas.
Soil: Adaptable in terms of pH; best growth is in moderately moist, cool, fertile soils.
Pruning: Does not strictly require pruning, though it does tolerate it well. Prune in spring before new growth begins.
Uses: Hedges; screening; mixed borders; foundation plantings; specimen.
