Coniferous and Broadleaf Evergreens combined in a Foundation Plauitin? 
ARBORVITAE 
Thuja orientaJis 
There are two types of Arborvitaes, which are known as Occidental and Oriental. 
The Occidentalis are generally not suited for the Southern States, while the Orientalis 
or Chinese types all do well in the South. The Oriental type is also classed as 
“Biota”, which is now unapproved. 
Arborvitaes usually form a pyramidal head, although there are various shapes and 
forms. The twigs are densely covered with tiny, scale-like leaves, and standing in 
flat, fan-like sprays or fronds, the^ leaves completely covering the twigs. Cones or 
seeds are egg-shaped, about one inch long, rather fleshy, and bluish in youth. 
Arborvitaes are among the most widely planted Evergreens in the country, as there 
is a type suitable for practically every Landscape use. They prefer a well-drained 
soil, although not particular as to texture.
