Arborvitae 'North Pole'

Arborvitae ‘North Pole’ is a narrow, upright evergreen shrub valued for dense green foliage, strong winter color, and polished structure. Its slim columnar habit makes it excellent for privacy screens, entry accents, foundation plantings, and narrow landscape spaces.

Why choose Arborvitae ‘North Pole’?

Choose Arborvitae ‘North Pole’ for dependable year-round privacy and vertical structure in places where wider evergreens may not fit. This selection offers a tight, columnar shape with rich green foliage that stays attractive through winter. It is especially useful for formal rows, property-line screening, mixed borders, and paired plantings near walkways or entrances. Its naturally tidy form keeps maintenance simple, often requiring little to no regular pruning.

Common Name: Arborvitae ‘North Pole’
Plant Type: Evergreen shrub
Growth Habit: Narrow upright, columnar

Arborvitae ‘North Pole’ Additional Information

Arborvitae ‘North Pole’ is grown for its dense evergreen foliage and naturally vertical form rather than showy flowers. The foliage holds a rich green appearance through the seasons, making it a reliable backdrop for flowering shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses, and winter landscapes. Its narrow habit allows gardeners to create privacy or structure without sacrificing as much horizontal space as broader evergreen selections.

Use Arborvitae ‘North Pole’ as a privacy screen, hedge, specimen, foundation anchor, entryway pair, or bold vertical accent in mixed borders. It typically matures around 10–15 feet tall and 3–5 feet wide, depending on growing conditions and spacing. Pruning is usually minimal because the plant keeps a clean columnar outline naturally. If shaping is desired, light trimming in summer can refine the form while preserving the dense outer foliage.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant in well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Allow sufficient room for mature width while taking advantage of the plant’s naturally narrow growth habit.

2. Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to establish a strong root system. Continue providing supplemental moisture during prolonged dry periods.

3. Mulching: Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to help conserve moisture, regulate soil temperatures, and reduce weed competition.

4. Pruning: Minimal pruning is typically needed. If shaping is desired, lightly trim in late spring or early summer while maintaining the natural columnar form.
