Notes
'Wareana Lutescens' American arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Wareana Lutescens') is a tree for specimen planting, hedges, foundation beds, 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. The dense evergreen foliage is fragrant and attracts birds. Deer tend to pass it by. It grows slowly, so it needs little pruning to keep its shape.
Pairs well with Globosa Colorado spruce, Red fescue, and Pearly everlasting.
