Discover the timeless beauty and functional elegance of Thuja occidentalis, commonly known as American Arborvitae, Eastern Arborvitae, or Northern White Cedar. This versatile evergreen conifer is a standout choice for North American gardens and landscapes, revered for its adaptability, resilience, and stunning ornamental qualities. Native to the cool, moist forests and lake shores of the northeastern United States and southeastern Canada, it thrives best in well-drained environments. This slow-growing, long-lived tree, which can reach heights of 20-40 feet and spreads of 10-15 feet, boasts a dense, conical shape and lush green foliage that may turn yellowish-green or brownish-green in winter.

Ideal for hedging, privacy screens, or as a striking ornamental feature, Thuja occidentalis also serves as a vital habitat and food source for birds and small mammals. This hardy species flourishes in USDA zones 2-7, displaying resilience against cold winters and various environmental conditions. Its fibrous, reddish-brown bark and small, oblong cones add to its unique appeal. Non-toxic to humans and pets, its year-round greenery offers aesthetic value and practical benefits with minimal maintenance, making it a prized addition to any landscape.
