Technito Arborvitae Makes A Great Evergreen Hedge

Technito Arborvitae 

Looking for a tall evergreen bush for a hedge or as a single specimen?  The Arborvitae Technito fits that bill.  It matures from 5 to 6 feet tall and will spread from 2 to 3 feet wide.  It is an evergreen so will continue with its dark green color throughout the winter.  It is similar to the Techny variety however the Techny is much bigger at 15 to 20 feet tall and 4 to 6 feet wide.  The dark green color of the Techny and the fact that it does retain its wonderful color into the winter are two of the similarities.  The Technito is very dense and does not need much trimming.  You will also enjoy the reddish-brown bark that is furrowed adding lots of interest.  The foliage has a texture that is medium/fine making it a little softer than some other Arborvitae's can be.  This Technito has an attractive pyramidal shape and can be used as a screen for privacy, you would probably want at least two depending on the space you have available.

The Technito requires well-drained soil and it does best in a very fertile soil.  The soil should be moist and not left to dry out between watering.  Technito does best in sun to light shade and has a slow to moderate growth rate.  This is a low-maintenance bush that is hardy from zone 3 to 7.  It can handle the cold weather very well.  The soft look of this Arborvitae is very pleasing as an accent to your landscape.
