Thuja occidentalis Full Speed A Hedge® 'Thin Man' (Arborvitae) Unity Grown
The 'Thin Man' cultivar of Thuja occidentalis is the perfect narrow arborvitae addition to a variety of landscape hedges, privacy screens, and wind breaks. As part of the Full Speed A Hedge® collection, the 'Thin Man' selection is an extremely fast-growing and narrow arborvitae, noted for its vigorous growth rate to a mature size of 12-15' tall and only 3-5' wide, this arborvitae selection is so compact it will even work for large containers! With a formal, columnar appearance, Thuja occidentalis 'Thin Man' adds a ton of texture and vertical appeal to the landscape, and with the cultivar's narrow footprint, it is capable of fitting in small spaces too!
Performing best in moist, well drained soil in full sun or partial shade, Thuja occidentalis 'Thin Man' is the ideal choice for narrow borders and screens, like those facing roadways or sidewalks, and acts well as a low-maintenance wind break or foundation planting thanks to its narrow footprint. This arborvitae grows very well when placed close together and is tolerant of both cold and heat, making it an excellent landscape addition in a great deal of sites, and with the choice breeding of the Full Speed A Hedge® series, your new hedge, border, or privacy screen will be ready in no time at all. Though mildly deer resistant thanks to the texture of its foliage, Thuja occidentalis 'Thin Man' is by no means deer proof, and may suffer from deer browsing in areas with bigger deer populations or during especially cold, harsh winters.
