Thuja occidentalis 'Degroots Spire'

Degroot's Spire Arborvitae

DeGroot's Spire arborvitae forms a narrow evergreen column with twisted sprays of green foliage. Its compact early growth makes a useful vertical accent, but it continues gaining height over many years.

Its structure combines a narrow, columnar outline and upright growth. Growth is slow. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.

Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide well-drained soil and maintain even moisture.
