Thuja Holmstrup

‘Holmstrup’ arborvitae is a woody, needled evergreen shrub in the cypress family (Cupressaceae). It is a cultivar of the American arborvitae, which is native to North America. This shrub is adaptable to a variety of soil types but prefers moist, well-drained loams. It is not drought tolerant. It grows well in full sun, partial shade, or dappled sunlight.
