Winter Interest
This evergreen is widely used
in landscape plantings. It forms a dense, pyramidal tree and
typically grows slowly to a height of 40 feet and width of 15
feet. Many of its cultivars are much smaller in size, and better
classified as shrubs. The flat, dark green foliage changes to
yellow-green or greenish brown in winter. Some cultivars keep
their dark green color over winter.
Eastern arborvitae is useful
for adding a vertical element to home landscapes. A line of the
trees can be used to screen unwanted views. Because it tolerates
shearing, it can also be used to create formal hedges.
