North Pole® is an easy-to-grow evergreen that will thrive in your landscape through thick or thin. Actually, thick or thin may be the perfect analogy for this plant. Its thin form will make you sit up and take notice as it stays thinner than ‘Emerald Green’, one of the most popular Arborvitae sold today. While it stays thin and narrow, its tightly held, fan-like foliage thickly covers its narrow form to produce a plant impenetrable to vision, making it a wonderful hedge plant when planted en masse. Its form and ease of growth also make it a perfect single specimen plant for any narrow space in a sunny or partially sunny landscape. North Pole®, unlike other Arborvitae, is also masterful about retaining its dark, deep green foliage color even in the harshest of winters, a claim among others like Thuja that is often made but less often truly borne out. North Pole® prefers moist, well-drained soil but will tolerate drier soils once established.

A yellow/amber beacon that can be easily seen and enjoyed.
