Description
Arborvitae Elegantissima is a stunning upright evergreen that delivers structure, softness, and subtle color variation to the landscape. This narrow, pyramidal selection features beautiful, feathery foliage in a vibrant yellow-green hue that brings a lovely splash of light and texture year-round. Its tidy, columnar shape and refined needle texture make it one of the finest choices for privacy screens, foundation accents, or elegant vertical elements in mixed borders.

Elegantissima offers year-round interest with its dense, textural foliage that maintains color and form even through Michigan winters. Its slower, more controlled growth makes it easy to manage and shape as needed.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
  • Watering: Water consistently after planting to establish deep roots; once established, water occasionally as needed, especially during prolonged dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning is needed; shape lightly in early spring if desired to maintain form

With its fresh color, narrow form, and satisfying year-round texture, Arborvitae Elegantissima is a polished and reliable evergreen for bringing structure and elegance to a variety of landscape designs.
