Thuja North Pole®

A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® variety, Thuja North Pole®

The ideal landmark tree for smaller gardens and accent plantings, this ultra-columnar Arborvitae offers lush, deep green foliage year-round that resists winter burn and remains full right down to the ground. A selection of the North American native species, Thuja North Pole® is a magnificent addition to any landscape, needing very little attention to grow and look its best.

Never more than 5 to 7 feet wide, this western red cedar slowly reaches 12 to 17 feet tall, with a naturally symmetrical, conical habit. A columnar selection of T. 'Wintergreen,' it was bred for superior resistance to winter burn, and also demonstrates excellent cold-hardiness. Thuja North Pole® is the tree to rely upon to always look immaculate, whether used as a specimen, accent, or privacy screening.

Bred by Art Boe of Minnesota, Thuja North Pole® stands up effortlessly to environmental stresses, and as a native species resists most pests and diseases. Thuja North Pole® will not bronze out in winter, scorch in summer, nor break beneath heavy snow loads. Bagworms avoid it and imperfect soil does not faze it. Long-lived and dependable, Thuja North Pole® is a legacy tree that will define your garden beautifully.

Although Thuja exhibit deer resistance, no species is completely immune, so young trees require monitoring and protection when food is scarce.
