The Degroot's Spire Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis 'Degroot's Spire', is a striking accent plant with a narrow, columnar form and rich green, twisted foliage. Degroot's Spire Arborvitae retains its attractiveness with age unlike some evergreens.
This tree turns bronze in winter contrasting beautifully with the snow. Its striking narrow-columnar form makes it the perfect choice when a strong vertical accent in the garden or landscape is desired.
Degroot's Spire Arborvitae requires very little pruning. This arborvitae is an excellent variety for small spaces, is an easy care plant, and attracts wildlife. It is drought tolerant after it is established, but also tolerates wet soils quite well. The Degroot’s Spire needs at least 6 hours of sun to thrive; full sun is recommended.
The growth rate of Degroot's Spire Arborvitae is a tad on the slow side, but a row of DeGroot's Spire creates an attractive and functional screen, or becomes a handsome green wall for that special outdoor area!
