The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
This columnar form of the great American Arborvitae grows in full sun. Get the lushest growth and optimal health in at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Adaptable to a wide range of moisture and conditions once established, these only need protection from deer browse and drying icy northern winds that can cause windburn. If you are in an area prone to drying winter winds, use an anti-desiccant and be sure to water your conifers very well all fall and throughout the winter as needed. Shear if desired in early spring before that first flush of new growth, but this compact growing tree really won't need it.

- Appreciates Mulch & Winter Watering
- Prune Late Winter & Shear Early Spring
