Description
Arborvitae Thin Man® (Thuja occidentalis 'SMTOTM') is a fast-growing, narrow columnar evergreen that’s perfect for creating tall, space-saving screens or accents in tight garden areas. Reaching up to 15 feet tall and just 4 feet wide at maturity, this striking conifer maintains its dark green, scale-like foliage year-round—even through harsh winters. Its rigid, upright form makes it ideal for privacy hedges, architectural focal points, or modern landscapes where vertical structure is needed.
Hardy in zones 3–7, Thin Man® Arborvitae thrives in full to part sun and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil. It’s both heat tolerant and resilient, tolerating light pruning to shape and maintain its silhouette. Best when sheltered from drying winter winds, this low-maintenance shrub offers fast growth, seasonal consistency, and effortless beauty. Whether planted in rows or as a solo specimen, Thin Man® delivers structure and greenery without taking up valuable horizontal space.
Each plant comes in a #7 (7 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
