Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Give this arborvitae full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct light daily, to maintain its dense and lush foliage. While it can handle partial shade, too little light often results in a looser, more open habit that loses its structural appeal.
  • Soil: These trees thrive in moist, well-drained loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. If you are planting in heavy clay, improve drainage to prevent root rot, or add compost to sandy soils to help retain necessary moisture.

Watering Requirements

Consistent moisture is critical during the first two years to establish a strong, deep root system. Once established, the Private Jet™ is moderately drought tolerant, though inconsistent watering can cause the inner needles to turn brown and shed prematurely.

Pruning Tips

Because this variety naturally grows in a tight, narrow column, pruning is rarely required. If you wish to tidy the shape, lightly shear the foliage in early spring, but never cut into the brown, inner wood where no leaves are present as it will not regrow.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a slow-release, granular fertilizer formulated for evergreens in early spring just as new green tips begin to appear. Avoid high-nitrogen feeding after mid-summer, as this encourages soft new growth that can be easily damaged by early winter freezes.

Private Jet™ Arborvitae: Dense, Upright, Evergreen Elegance

The Bloomin' Easy® Private Jet® Arborvitae USPP#29678, CPBR6660 (Thuja occidentalis 'King of Brabant') is a polished, refined selection of American Arborvitae bred for landscape luxury. This upright, narrow evergreen stays dense and columnar without pruning, flaunting fan-like sprays of deep green foliage all year long. Private Jet™ is prized for its symmetry, cold-hardiness, and deer resistance—making it a top-tier choice for privacy screens and formal plantings!

This cultivar grows in a sleek, vertical habit, typically reaching 15-20 feet tall and 5-6 feet wide at maturity, forming a natural privacy wall or a bold focal point. Its scale-like, rich green leaves grow on flattened sprays, emitting a light, fresh scent when crushed. In winter, the foliage retains its green vibrance with little to no bronzing, making it an evergreen that stays genuinely green through every season.
