Western Arborvitae Spring Grove® 7 Gallon

Thuja plicata 'Grovepli'
This fast growing, cold hardy selection of Western Arborvitae shows excellent resistance to deer browsing, and was selected for its superior winter color and hardiness. It maintains a dark green, glossy color even in Midwest winters, surviving -25 degree temperatures. Its tight pyramidal habit works nicely in landscape designs, and its hardiness and deer resistance makes it a good choice for many suburban locations, especially for creating fast-growing privacy screens and winter interest. Western Arbs are generally very tolerant of heat, drought, and deer. Plant propagation prohibited. Plant in well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1 inch of water once a week the first year. Little pruning is needed, as this plant shapes itself nicely. You may remove dead branches any time. When necessary, prune or shear in late fall to early spring, just 2-3 inches at a time. Fertilize in early spring, mid-summer, and fall with a multi-purpose or acidic fertilizer, according to package instructions. Mulch 2 inches to suppress weeds, retain moisture, and protect against extremes of soil temperature. May shed interior leaves in fall. A Proven Winners® variety.
