The North Pole Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis 'Art Boe', is a fantastic upright columnar evergreen shrub. These are some of the best selling Proven Winners ColorChoice shrubs available, known for their upright growth habit and ease of care.

These arborvitaes are similar to other arborvitae with how hardy, disease resistant, and easy to care for. However, the North Pole is great due to the upright growth habit, which makes it great for a privacy screen in narrow spaces. This is a great way to add a hedge but not take up a lot of space in your yard or garden.

The bushes are dark green and look beautiful all year round, even in the winter. The bushes resist winter burn or damage even in the coldest climates up north in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Montana & Maine (hardy up to zone 3).

North Pole Arborvitae Care

Plant these in well drained soil and in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Not much care is needed once established.

Pruning North Pole Arborvitae is not necessary. However, if necessary you can trim to the shape desired in the summer. Be careful not to cut too much of the branches off.

Fertilize North Pole Arborvitae in the spring with generic slow release fertilizer designed for trees and woody material.

North Pole Arborvitae Spacing

To form a hedge, plant these around 5 feet apart. It may take a year or two to develop fully, but that much room is needed for optimal health of the shrubs. Otherwise, you can plant around 7 feet apart to allow sunlight to hit the entire plant when once it matures.

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.

Guarantee and Warranty

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.
