The Private Jet™ Arborvitae is a versatile, hardy, and charming shrub that will enhance any landscape. Frilly green foliage provides texture and dependable year-round color. The Thuja occidentalis is a fast grower with a columnar form. This tall shrub has a full base and gradually narrows near the top, creating a visually pleasing form.
This arborvitae is a North American native, so it requires very little care once it has settled in. The tall size and dense form make it an excellent candidate for creating a privacy hedge. Use this shrub to define a property line or provide seclusion around a patio. The Private Jet™ Arborvitae is heat tolerant, so it can easily handle hot summer weather. As an evergreen, it provides color during the bleak winter and grows in zones 3 through 7.
Private Jet™ Arborvitae Care
Plant the Private Jet™ Arborvitae in full to part sun. New plants need consistent water. Established plants often only need water during a dry period. This shrub is adaptable when it comes to soil, but rich, well-drained soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH is best. Feed the plant using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer each spring.
Pruning is not always necessary, but shape the Private Jet™ Arborvitae as needed in late winter or early spring. Lightly prune the shrub because a heavy prune can be stressful and may stunt growth.
Private Jet™ Arborvitae Spacing
Mature Private Jet™ Arborvitae shrubs reach 15 to 20 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide. Space shrubs 3 to 4 feet apart to create a hedge or privacy screen.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
