Description
Thuja occidentalis ‘Woodwardii’, commonly known as Woodward Arborvitae, is a distinctive evergreen conifer prized for its graceful, pendulous branches and soft, feathery foliage that creates a cascading, almost weeping effect. This cultivar of Eastern Arborvitae is native to northeastern North America and has been selectively bred for its unique, trailing growth habit that adds texture and movement to landscape designs. ‘Woodwardii’ is valued for its dense, rich green color that maintains year-round interest and its adaptability to a variety of soil conditions, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, privacy screens, or as a specimen accent. Its slow to moderate growth rate and manageable size also suit smaller gardens and container planting. This cultivar has been recognized in horticultural circles for its ornamental appeal and versatility, contributing to its popularity among landscape professionals and home gardeners alike.
