Description
Thuja occidentalis ‘Degroot’s Spire’, commonly known as Degroot’s Spire Arborvitae, is a narrow, columnar evergreen valued for its striking vertical form and dense, rich green foliage that maintains its vibrant color throughout the year. Originating from selections of the native Eastern Arborvitae, this cultivar was developed to provide a compact, upright landscape accent, making it ideal for hedges, screens, and architectural plantings in both residential and commercial settings. Its slow to moderate growth rate and excellent winter hardiness contribute to its popularity in cooler climates, where it thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a variety of soil conditions. Known for its low maintenance and resistance to common pests and diseases, ‘Degroot’s Spire’ has become a staple in ornamental horticulture, offering year-round structure and greenery. This cultivar has been recognized for its superior form and reliability, making it a preferred choice for landscapers and gardeners seeking durable and elegant evergreens.
