Arborvitae - Can Can
The Arborvitae - Can Can, Thuja plicata 'Can Can', is a tough, hardy, and easy to grow Western Cedar that has a conical form with dark green foliage and cream colored tips.
The Can Can arborvitae resists winter burn and will provide durable dark green color for four seasons. Use it for screening or as an accent plant.
It is heat tolerant, has glossier foliage, tolerates a wider range of soils, and unlike its eastern counterpart, is deer resistant.
It makes an excellent small specimen in the garden or can be trimmed to create a hedge or an evergreen screen. Given its small size and tight pyramidal habit, this tree will look fantastic with colored electric bulbs in late December!
