It's the perfect choice for a narrow hedge or screen or to line driveways or property lines.

Growing Preferences
Arborvitae are very easy to grow in most any average soil in full sun to part shade. A wide range of soils are tolerated, including red clay, but Arborvitae prefers moist but well-drained neutral to alkaline loamy soil. They don't like an overly dry site. Maintenance is minimal with very little if any pruning ever required.
