THUJA - The Arborvitaes 
When we think of something “‘old-fashioned’’ we think of Arborvitzs; when we think 
of something uncompromisingly and narrowly pyramidal we think of Arborvites. They 
are sensitive to the changes in the seasons. In Spring they are brightly, freshly green; in 
Winter, a bronzy brown.

This is the evergreen, par excellence, of grace and dignity. It is an unassuming aristocrat 
among its fellow species in northern woods and southern valleys. It is undaunted in its 
service to man, but serves him best perhaps as a thing of beauty about his habitations.
