Arborvitae |
| The
globe arborvitae is a fast, compact growing arborvitae tree.
They grow as globe shaped trees. One of the hardiest of the
arborvitae, the globe arborvitae will grow best in zones three
through eight. They need little to no pruning to keep the globe
shape, as this is done naturally. |
Globe
arborvitae will grow to a mature height of three to five feet
and an equal mature spread. They have great appeal as a specimen
planting or as an accent shrub in a garden area. Globe arborvitae
is also very easy to grow from a pot. Grown en mass, the globe
arborvitae will make a good wind block for shorter, more fragile
plants.
The mature
form of the globe arborvitae is global. They prefer full sun
to partial shade, and can grow in a variety of soil conditions.
The globe arborvitae is fairly drought resistant, and can
withstand cold temperatures. In areas of hotter summer temperature,
partial shade should be provided to prevent browning on the
tips of the leaves.

| The
globe arborvitae is native to the northeastern United States
and Canada. Once planted, a globe arborvitae requires little
maintenance, and is fairly drought resistant. Fertilizer may
be applied every few years or so to aid in faster growing.
Pruning, if desired, should be done early in the growing season
before new growth emerges.
