Thuja occidentalis 'Holmstrup'
Holmstrup Eastern Arborvitae
Holmstrup arborvitae has dense sprays of dark green foliage arranged in a narrow, pyramidal outline. Slow growth and good winter color make it useful as a measured evergreen accent or informal screen.
Its structure combines dense branching and a tapered crown. Growth is slow. The foliage supplies a year-round framework.
Choose a site in full sun or partial shade. Provide well-drained soil. Avoid drought and deep shade.
