Notes
'Art Boe' American arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Art Boe') is a tree for hedges, privacy screens, specimen planting, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy or clay soil. It grows slowly into a dense, fragrant evergreen that attracts birds. Deer tend to browse other plants first. Give it room to reach its full height and spread.
Pairs well with Eastern white pine, Berry Poppins winterberry, PowWow White coneflower, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
