THUJA (Arborvitae) Evergreens 
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.
