The Northern Spire Arborvitae (Thuja plicata 'Northern Spire') is a striking, narrow-columnar evergreen known for its elegant, upright growth and lush, deep green foliage. A cultivar of the Western Red Cedar, it typically reaches heights of 20 feet with a slender spread of just 4 to 5 feet, making it ideal for privacy screens, hedging, or vertical accents in limited spaces. Its dense, aromatic foliage resists browning and holds its color throughout the year, while the tree's natural resistance to deer and tolerance of a variety of soil types make it a low-maintenance choice for landscapes. Hardy and adaptable, Thuja plicata 'Northern Spire' brings a stately, refined presence to gardens and urban plantings alike.
