Thuja North Pole

The ideal landmark tree for smaller gardens and accent plantings, this ultra-columnar Arborvitae offers lush, deep green foliage year-round that resists winter burn and remains full right down to the ground. A selection of the North American native species, Thuja North Pole is a magnificent addition to any landscape, needing very little attention to grow and look its best.

Never more than 5 to 7 feet wide, this western red cedar slowly reaches 12 to 17 feet tall, with a naturally symmetrical, conical habit. A columnar selection of T. ‘Wintergreen,’ it was bred for superior resistance to winter burn, and also demonstrates excellent cold-hardiness. Thuja North Pole is the tree to rely upon to always look immaculate, whether used as a specimen, accent, or privacy screening.

Bred by Art Boe of Minnesota, Thuja North Pole stands up effortlessly to environmental stresses, and as a native species resists most pests and diseases. Thuja North Pole will not bronze out in winter, scorch in summer, nor break beneath heavy snow loads. Bagworms avoid it and imperfect soil does not faze it. Long-lived and dependable, Thuja North Pole is a legacy tree that will define your garden beautifully.

Though Thuja have a reputation for resisting deer, young plants can be at risk when food is scarce. Regular monitoring and protection are advised.
