Spring Grove Arborvitae, Thuja plicata 'Grovepli', are a fast growing evergreen shrub that are fantastic for privacy hedges. Because these are evergreen, the foliage stays green year round. This bush is native to North America, which means it is low maintenance. It also can tolerate harsh winter and summer conditions in zones 5 to 7.

Like most Western arborvitae, these are deer resistant and disease resistant. Simply ensure the shrubs get enough water until established, and minimal care is required after that.

Besides being perfect for privacy hedges, some people plant these to hold banks and prevent erosion. These are also great in winter and fall gardens because of the beautiful green foliage that extends all year.

Spring Grove Arborvitae Care

Plant these in fertile soil that is moist and well drained. These can adapt to a wide range of pH levels. The Spring Grove arborvitaes are also drought tolerant once established. These shrubs can also survive -25 degree temperatures during harsh Midwest winters. Fertilize by applying a slow release fertilizer specialized for evergreens. That can be found at most common home goods stores. This should be done in early spring.

Pruning Spring Grove Arborvitae should be done in late fall. Be careful not to prune large branches or too deep into the plant.

Spring Grove Arborvitae Spacing

Plant these 12 to 15 feet apart, center on center. If you are planning on growing these into a fast growing privacy hedge, space these 12 feet apart, center on center. If you plant closer than that, you will run the risk of the roots not having enough room to grow, and could run into long-term issues.
