Dark American Arborvitae

Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra'

Dark American will grow to about 25-35 feet tall at maturity and should be spaced every 4-5 feet on center to form a privacy hedge. They grow about 2 feet per year, and are the most full when first planted compared to other arborvitae.

A Practical, Low-Maintenance Tree for Every Yard

Why American Arborvitaes?

Whether you want an accent tree, natural privacy fence or a simple and easy tree for your yard, the American Arborvitae is a great choice. This tree is tolerant of most soil conditions and most climates, including both cold winters and hot summers.

Other common names for the American Arborvitae include:

  • Northern White Cedar

  • Eastern Arborvitae

  • Eastern White Cedar

  • Swamp Cedar

That means it’s easy to grow. Once you plant the American Arborvitae, there's no need to prune, shape or fertilize this tree. This columnar tree will grow and taper to a point towards the top even if you don't have a green thumb and keeps its natural, elegant silhouette in the process.

 

It's the perfect, natural privacy fence. If you want an evergreen privacy fence that takes no maintenance, then you should order several American Arborvitaes. They grow perfectly together and won't require shearing to maintain. Plus, it’s ideal for plant next to entryways or near hard edges or corners to add softness and interest.

​

Whether you live in a snowy climate or a place full of dead, bare winter trees, our American Arborvitae's tight shape and bright green leaves will create a stunning contrast. And you get these good-looking, easy-care benefits because we’ve planted, grown and shipped your American with care. Since our tree arrives to your door with its roots intact, you get the best possible results.

 

Since the American Arborvitae makes a great privacy fence, many people order several trees at a time. Get your own American Arborvitae, before they’re gone!
