Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra'
Dark American Arborvitae is a stately evergreen conifer valued for its rich green foliage and conical form. This variety is particularly appreciated for its dark green color, which remains vibrant throughout the year. With a moderate growth rate, 'Nigra' is often utilized as a striking specimen plant, hedge, or as part of a privacy screen. Its natural pyramidal shape adds a touch of elegance to landscapes, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial settings. Adaptable to various soil types and relatively low-maintenance, the 'Nigra' Arborvitae thrives in full sun to partial shade. Regular watering during dry spells and occasional pruning to maintain its shape are typically the extent of care required.
