50 Seeds Eastern Arborvitae Thuja occidentalis Evergreen Privacy Tree

Eastern Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis) is a hardy evergreen conifer valued for its dense, conical form and fine, feathery green foliage. It is a popular choice for hedges, windbreaks, privacy screens, and foundational plantings, offering year-round structure and a tidy, upright silhouette in the landscape.

This conifer works well in borders, mass plantings, and naturalized areas, where its compact growth habit provides excellent visual screening. It tolerates a range of conditions once established and responds well to shearing for maintained hedge shapes. Seeds are a practical and economical way to grow this classic evergreen. Grow in a sunny to partly shaded spot with well-draining soil for best results.
