ARBORVITAE TREES

EVERGREEN PRIVACY, YEAR AFTER YEAR

Arborvitae are one of the most popular evergreen trees for creating natural privacy screens and hedges. With dense foliage, a rich green color, and reliable growth, they provide beauty and function in every season. At Courville Nurseries, we have thousands of Arborvitae in stock, available in a variety of sizes.

WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE ARBORVITAE

  • Natural privacy - Dense foliage makes an instant green fence.
  • Evergreen color - Stays vibrant all year, even in New England winters.
  • Low maintenance- Once established, they need little care beyond occasional watering.
  • Fast growth - Many varieties grow quickly, filling in spaces within a few years.
  • Flexible sizes - From smaller Emerald Greens to towering Green Giants.

HOW ARBORVITAE ARE COMMONLY USED

  • Privacy hedges along property lines
  • Screens to block roads, neighbors, or unsightly views
  • Windbreaks in open landscapes
  • Specimen trees for a tall, elegant focal point
  • Framing driveways or walkways

Planting & Care Tips

  • Planting location - Full sun to partial shade. They prefer at least 6 hours of sun daily.
  • Soil - Well-drained soil is important. Avoid planting in areas where water collects.
  • Spacing - For hedges, plant Emerald Green Arborvitae 2–3 feet apart; Green Giants 5–7 feet apart.
  • Watering - Water deeply after planting and during the first growing season. Once established, water during dry periods.
  • Mulching - Helps keep roots cool and moist.
  • Pruning - Minimal. Trim lightly if needed to shape.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT ARBORVITAE

  • Deer browsing - In some areas, deer love Arborvitae foliage. Protection may be needed.
  • Winter burn - Cold winds and winter sun can sometimes bronze the foliage. Mulching and burlap wrapping can help.
  • Root rot - Poor drainage can stress or kill young Arborvitae. Plant in well-drained soil.
  • Crowding - Plant with enough spacing so roots and branches don’t compete.
