Degroot's Spire Arborvitae is a striking, narrow, columnar evergreen ideal for adding vertical interest to landscapes or creating dense, space-efficient hedges. Its tightly packed, rich green foliage is soft to the touch and maintains its vibrant color throughout the year, making it an excellent choice for privacy screens, foundation plantings, or accent features in gardens.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Thrives in full sun to partial shade (at least 4–6 hours of sunlight daily).
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, moist soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH but can adapt to various soil types.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish deep roots, then provide consistent moisture, especially during prolonged dry spells.
  • Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for evergreens in early spring. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to overly soft growth.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Lightly shape as needed to maintain its natural columnar form. Remove any dead or damaged branches in late winter or early spring.

Degroot's Spire Arborvitae is a low-maintenance and versatile evergreen that thrives in colder climates. Its unique spire-like growth habit and year-round visual appeal make it a favorite for home landscapes, formal gardens, and urban settings. Whether used as a statement piece or a functional privacy barrier, this hardy, elegant arborvitae is an excellent addition to any outdoor space.
