American Arborvitae, also known as the Eastern Arborvitae and White Cedar, is a dense, pyramidal evergreen tree that is native in moist sites in North America from Minnesota east. Main trunk often divides into several leaders. The branches with scale-like foliage are displayed in horizontal sprays. Fruit is a small (3/8") light brown cone. Native trees will get much larger than size listed above. Selected compact cultivars are usually planted in the landscape. Needs a moist rich soil, somewhat tolerant to wet soils. Will tolerate light shade but will be more open in growth habit. Can be sheared readily. The American Arborvitae can reach heights of 25+ feet and widths of 20+ feet. It makes a great privacy fence or hedge and is also a great shelterbelt tree. Can also be used for landscaping. It is cold hard to USDA zone 3.
