Product Details

Tall Guy Arborvitae

Thuja occidentalis 'RutThu5'

Tall Guy Arborvitae is built for height, with a slim profile that rises straight up without spreading wide. The foliage stays tight to the form, creating a clean, uniform column from base to top. Its structure is consistent and predictable, making it useful for lining spaces or creating vertical rhythm. Reaching about 8 to 12 feet tall and spreading 2 to 3 feet wide at maturity, it forms a strong, upright presence that works well in screens, hedges, and boundary plantings.

  • Evergreen tree

Tall Guy Arborvitae thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. Hardy in USDA zones 5 through 8, it provides year-round coverage and a clean, vertical structure in Texas landscapes.
