The Arborvitae (Thuja) 
T HE American Arborvitae is the one dwarf and medium size group of evergreens which prefers the wind and cold, the 
snow and ice, of winter in the extreme north. For this reason, it is an important group to gardeners in Zones II, III, and 
IV. Arborvitae grows in any good soil and even withstands poor drainage. For best results it should be sheared neatly 
every summer, being careful to keep the bottom broader than the top. The Canadian Experimental Stations have proved it to 
be the best evergreen hedge for the north. There is a large assortment of varietal forms in different colors, shapes, and sizes.
