Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra' is an attractive, dark-green cultivar of arborvitae that is well suited for use in the home garden due to its dark green, glossy, evergreen foliage and its medium to large height of 15-18'. While 'Nigra' may have a mature spread of 8-10' feet wide, larger than some arborvitae cultivars, this width makes 'Nigra' a great choice for well-spaced hedge and border plantings, especially along property lines, but dense foliage also makes 'Nigra' an excellent specimen tree, retaining its color better during the winter months than other arborvitae varieties.

'Nigra' arborvitae prefers full to part sun, and average soil moisture and consistency, but these hardy specimens can tolerate deer damage, cold, and drought once established. Although it does not flower, Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra' attracts small birds and wildlife by offering cover and shelter; 'Nigra' also acts as a host plant for a variety of moth and butterfly larvae

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
