A hardy evergreen for year-round interest and structure. Sasquatch™ Dark Green arborvitae is an impressive force in the garden and landscape, tolerating heat and drought as well as bitter cold winters. ‘Nigra Dark Green’ arborvitae is noted as the hardiest, most resistant to winter burn arborvitae on the market, but it is also known for producing too many seeds, which can be ugly and stunt growth. Sasquatch™ Dark Green is a nearly seedless selection, solving this significant issue while also delivering improved growth and habit. With this Thuja occidentalis , you truly get the best of both worlds. Selected by Alain Brodeur of Pépinière du Jaseur from thousands of 'Nigra' seedlings over a 40-year span, Sasquatch™ Dark Green thuja was the clear winner.

Interesting evergreens are as irresistible to plant geeks in the industry as they are to garden center shoppers, but they aren't always the easiest plant to produce - nor are they, necessarily, the handsomest in terms of container presentation. That's why we are thrilled to offer Whip It Good arborvitae ( Thuja occidentalis ), which is similar to the classic 'Whipcord' but improved in every way: its thread-like foliage is much longer and more dense, creating a far more appealing habit in the container and landscape. Best of all, it's fast-growing enough, and nice enough in a container, that growers can actually be profitable with it in production. An interesting and unexpected boxwood alternative that's also a landscape plant in its own right. Developed by the University of Georgia.
