Holmstrup Arborvitae
Thuja occidentalis 'Holmstrup'
This slow-growing, native North American Arborvitae thrives in cool, well-drained environments such as wet forests, swamps, and along lake shores. With its naturally tight, columnar shape, this tree maintains its form with minimal pruning, making it low-maintenance and easy to care for. Its small, scale-like leaves are densely packed, creating a thick, lush appearance in a deep, lustrous green. This Arborvitae is perfect for adding structure to your landscape, offering a rich, textured look that enhances any garden or natural setting.
