Looking for a vertical statement tree that blends elegance with resilience? Meet DeGroot’s Spire Cedar — the perfect evergreen for tight spaces. This cultivar of Thuja occidentalis (American Arborvitae) grows in a naturally narrow, columnar form, reaching up to 20–30 feet tall but only 4–6 feet wide. Its dense, spiral-twisting foliage adds architectural interest year-round, making it ideal for formal gardens, privacy screens, or as a living accent near entrances and walkways. Hardy to USDA Zone 3, DeGroot’s Spire is extremely cold-tolerant, low-maintenance, and deer-resistant — a reliable performer that doesn’t sacrifice beauty for durability.

The Techny Cedar has a couple important care requirements. It does not like to be dry or planted near large trees that will take its water access. Plant the Techny Cedar in rich, well drained and moist soil and keep the plant well watered during dry periods. Water well leading into winter and you will have a happy cedar.
