A fast-growing evergreen ideal for privacy screens and tall hedges with vigorous growth, dense foliage, and excellent disease resistance. This superior arborvitae selection combines rapid growth with exceptional health and adaptability, making it one of the most popular choices for creating quick privacy and year-round screening in landscapes of all sizes.

  • Exceptional Growth Rate: Grows 3-5 feet per year once established—one of the fastest-growing arborvitaes
  • Dense Rich Green Foliage: Lush, vibrant green foliage remains attractive year-round with no winter browning
  • Superior Disease Resistance: Excellent resistance to common arborvitae problems including bagworms and deer browsing
  • Impressive Height: Reaches 40-60 feet tall and 12-20 feet wide at maturity
  • Highly Adaptable: Thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates various soil conditions
  • Cold and Heat Tolerant: Performs well in zones 5-8 with excellent temperature extremes tolerance
  • Low Maintenance: Requires minimal pruning and care once established
  • Deer Resistant: Not favored by deer—maintains attractive appearance

Landscape Uses

Excellent for privacy screens, property line buffers, windbreaks, and tall evergreen hedges. Plant 5-6 feet apart for dense screening or 8-10 feet apart for individual specimens. Works well as a specimen tree, in rows for maximum privacy, or as a backdrop for mixed borders. Ideal for creating outdoor rooms, blocking unwanted views, and reducing noise pollution. The rapid growth makes it perfect for new construction sites and instant landscape impact. Combines beautifully with flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials at the base for layered interest.

Care & Growing Conditions

Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil. Tolerates a wide range of soil conditions including clay, loam, and sandy soils. Water regularly during the first two growing seasons to establish a deep root system, then reduce watering once established. Prune annually in late spring to maintain desired height and shape if needed. Apply 2-3 inches of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer for optimal growth and vibrant color. Tolerates urban conditions and air pollution better than many evergreens.
