Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes

Growing Zones
Introducing a dense, soft evergreen that you rarely need to trim! The Woodward Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Woodwardii') is a compact, round plant that stays trim and tidy all on its own!
Woodward Arborvitae has dense, soft, scale-like, green foliage that forms flattened sprays at the ends of short, ascending branches. Its small flowers are inconspicuous and develop ½ inch cones that the birds will seek out despite you not noticing them.
Cold-hardy throughout USDA planting zones 3 to 7, these wider-than-tall evergreen shrubs pack a lot of coverage into a lower-growing form! The tidy and evenly spaced branching has a fine-textured appearance that always looks spiffy!
Landscape Application:
Woodward is an excellent foundation plant, growing 4 - 6 feet tall so it won't block your view. Their wide spread of 8 - 10 feet provides fast coverage without adding bulky height! But you can keep yours trimmed to conform to any width you need.
This easy-to-maintain and soft-to-the-touch evergreen is well suited for a mid-sized hedge, backdrop, border, or lining a sidewalk. You will love the effect of a row creating polite property division or separating your front yard from the street.
This wide growth makes Woodward a fast privacy hedge that fills in quickly. Plant yours 7-8 feet apart on center to create a solid fill, or space them looser for a more informal hedge. Fill a hard-to-mow hillside or eroding slope by planting zig-zagging plantings of Woodward to transform these tricky landscape features.
- Deep Green Dense Foliage
- Fine Even Textured Branching
- Tidy Form Rarely Needs Maintenance
- Wider Than Tall Form
- Hedges, Erosion Control, Privacy, Foundation Plantings & Specimens
#ProPlantTips for Care:
This hardy dwarf Thuja can tolerate a wide variety of well-drained soil types, full sun to light shade, and even wet sites. Trim if needed (which will be rare) in the spring after the first flush of new growth. These and all plants love a 3-4 inch deep layer of mulch around their base to keep moisture in the soil, insulate the roots, and hold back weed competition. The Woodward Arborvitae has no serious diseases or pests!
- Full Sun
- Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs
- Prune If Needed In Spring
- Easy To Grow Evergreens
Tidy and compact, the Woodward Arborvitae is a wide-spreading mid-sized Thuja shrub that will bring the coverage and greenery to your landscape all year long! Order now at NatureHills.com!
