Notes

'Sasquatch Dark Green' American arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Sasquatch Dark Green') is a shrub for hedges, privacy screens, and foundation plantings. 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 and forms a dense, fragrant evergreen shape. Birds visit it, and it keeps its color through winter. Deer tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Berry Poppins winterberry, Blonde Ambition blue grama, and Brown-eyed Susan.
