The Pyramidal Arborvitae is a natural privacy screen that blocks unwanted views and noise. Its tall, narrow growth habit creates a dense barrier, making it an ideal choice for backyards or property curb appeal. When planted in rows, it will transform an open space into a private oasis, providing continuous privacy and reducing noise pollution. Strategic placement ensures a peaceful retreat without sacrificing visual appeal.
The Pyramidal Arborvitae is a low-maintenance tree, making it a great choice if you’re a busy homeowner or new to gardening. Its natural pyramidal shape eliminates the need for constant pruning, saving you time and effort. The evergreen is drought-tolerant, reducing the need for frequent watering. It is also resistant to most pests and diseases, making it a hassle-free and enjoyable gardening experience.
For vibrant green foliage, plant your Pyramidal Arborvitae in full sun. It tolerates partial shade, but denser growth occurs with more sunlight. Well-drained, slightly acidic soil is ideal. Amend clay soil with organic matter to improve drainage.
At maturity, the Pyramidal Arborvitae reaches 15-20 ft tall and 3-5 ft wide. Space individual trees 5 ft apart for privacy screens. Allow enough room for them to mature comfortably without crowding.
Dig a hole slightly wider and just as deep as the root ball of your Pyramidal Arborvitae. Loosen the surrounding soil to encourage healthy root development.
Carefully remove your Pyramidal Arborvitae from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the tree in the hole so the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole and tamp gently to eliminate air pockets.
Water your newly planted Pyramidal Arborvitae deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage area.
Apply a 2-3 inch layer of organic mulch around the base of the tree, keeping it a few inches from the stem. Replenish mulch as needed throughout the year. Water regularly during the first year to encourage root development. Established trees are more drought-tolerant but still appreciate consistent moisture.
The Pyramidal Arborvitae creates a luxurious, green privacy screen that can transform your property into a personal sanctuary. This evergreen not only acts as a privacy screen but also acts as a natural sound barrier, filtering out unwanted noise and creating a calming atmosphere. Its vibrant green foliage adds sophistication to your landscape, boosting curb appeal and property value. Order your Pyramidal Arborvitae today and enjoy the peace and tranquility you deserve.
