The wide variety of sizes and forms of Arborvitae facilitates and suggests 
their use as accents, hedges, screens, or outdoor tub plants, or for planting in 
groups. The foliage is composed of a scalelike covering of fine branchlets and is 
characteristic in all the forms. The Arborvitae respond readily to any shearing 
which follows their natural form of growth and may be kept within bounds easily. 
Occidentalis. American Arhorvitse. 20 ft. This variety stands trimming well 
and for this reason is widely used for hedge purposes. A pyramid, growing 
bushy at the bottom and tapering toward the top. Foliage is very soft and 
lacy and of a shiny deep green color. A moist location is preferred.
