Notes
'Sudwelli' American arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Sudwelli') is a tree for hedges, privacy screens, specimen planting, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 2, or down to -50°F (-46°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, loamy or clay soil. It grows slowly into a dense, evergreen, fragrant form that birds visit. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Give it room to reach its full height.
Pairs well with Globosa Colorado spruce, Alpine currant, and Red fescue.
