Growing Information

These Arborvitae thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer moist, well-draining soil. Moderate watering is recommended, especially during the establishment phase to keep the soil consistently moist. For best results, plant them in the ground long-term rather than containers. Space the plants 2–3 feet apart to create a thick privacy hedge. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and supports healthy growth.
