Degroot’s Spire

Degroot’s Spire

A dwarf cultivar of the evergreen American arborvitae or eastern arborvitae DeGroot’s scale-like rich green foliage becoming purple-tinged in winter and its sleek, compact, tailored, narrow pyramidal form, sets the tree apart from similar varieties.

As it only gets to between 3 -4 feet wide at the base and 15 – 20 feet tall at mature height this slow growing specimen is the perfect evergreen silhouette privacy tree for a tight vertical spot, as a specimen, accent, container, or patio planting, as a foundation planting or shrub border, for windbreaks, planting between buildings, driveway borders, and beyond. Pruning of its side shoots when the plant is young may be necessary to maintain its narrow habit.

DeGroot’s grows best in full sun to partial shade and loamy, moist, well-drained, acidic soils. Intolerant of dry conditions it should be planted in sheltered sites to prevent exposure to winter elements and wind damage.
