Care

Semi-Dwarf Arborvitae Care

Provide full sun to partial shade. Too much shade will cause growth issues. Partial (afternoon) shade may be beneficial when growing in hotter climates.

Fertilization is suggested, especially if soil is poor. Our slow release fertilizer is a great option.

Naturally grows in a dense, cylindrical pattern with a pyramidal top section. New growth may be trimmed to shape in late spring, following plant’s natural habit. Keep well-watered after trimming to prevent browning of edges. Do not cut too hard or cut into thick stems, which will result in slow recovery.

More trimming may be required if multiple leaders develop. In this case, select a central leader and trim surrounding growth more drastically to suppress it and allow the chosen leader to take shape. For the best form, do not let the plant decide how it should grow – impose the shape on it once and it should stick.

Water regularly, especially after planting prior to establishment. Attempt to keep soil moist but not wet.

This arborvitae prefers soil that is well draining.

Space 2' apart at a minimum.

We're a small, woman-owned business with a deep focus on product quality and customer satisfaction. Our plants are grown with love and packed with happiness!

Perfect Specimens

I could not be more pleased with the appearance and condition of these lovely little Arborvitae. In fact, upon opening the boxes I thought had mistakenly ordered faux plants--they are that lush and green. The packaging was well beyond that of most online nurseries. This was my first order but won't be my last. Thank you!

Great room

It was our first trip to Savannah and we would definitely come back

New corner tree

This tree is planted at the corner of my front bed. It is small now but it looks healthy and green and I know it will grow into a lovely petite arborvitae and catch the eye of those looking at my house.

First let me say that I have purchased plants on-line for years. As we all know, quality isn't always the best. Over the course of these years very few would be rated A++
these (2) are indeed A++. Great packaging with care
excellent quality. A B-I-G THANK YOU

First time tree buyer!

The folks at Almanac Planting Company were most accommodating. Their website was easy to use and they accommodated a specific delivery date for my landscaper. Highly recommend the quality and customer service. Now grow tree grow!

Thanks for your business and wonderful review, Judy! 😊
