Description
Woodwardii Globe Arborvitae is an exceptionally low-maintenance and handsome coniferous evergreen shrub that requires no pruning to keep its distinct global shape. Lacy, rich green “fans” of foliage are dense and hold their color well through winter. An excellent choice to accentuate entryways or for rows in home foundation plantings.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing naturally in a global shape about 5 feet tall and wide, Woodwardii Globe Arborvitae is ideal for use as an accent, in groupings, or as a straight or staggered row in home foundation plantings and landscape borders. Place one on either side of the front steps, driveway or walkway or other entrances to accentuate the entryway. A fine addition to conifer gardens, rock gardens and formal gardens. Great for use in pots, planters and other containers as well.
Suggested Spacing: 4 feet apart for solid hedges; 8 feet apart or more for space between plants
Growing Preferences
Being North American natives plants, Arborvitae are very easy to grow and care for. They are adaptable to many soil types, including red clay, and like full sun to part shade. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil. They don’t like an overly dry site. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. Maintenance is minimal with very little if any pruning ever required.
