About this species
Arborvitae is a versatile evergreen known for its dense, pyramidal form and soft, scale-like foliage. Commonly used for hedges, privacy screens, and foundation plantings, it retains its vibrant green color year-round and offers a neat, orderly appearance with minimal maintenance. Arborvitae thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained but moist soils, making it adaptable to many Ohio landscapes. Its natural ability to tolerate pruning and its wide range of cultivars—varying in height, width, and color—make arborvitae a reliable choice for homeowners and land managers looking for an attractive, low-maintenance evergreen.
Planting notes
Plant in staggered double rows 6–8 feet apart for a dense screen. Deer browse it hard — fence or tube young trees where deer pressure is high.
