Spring Grove® Arborvitae (Thuja plicata ‘Grovepli’) forms a neat, pyramidal shape topped by glossy, dark-green needles that hold their color even during harsh winters. It’s admired for its rapid growth, often reaching heights of 25 to 30 feet, yet it remains narrower than many other conifers, making it a standout choice for privacy screens. Deer tend to steer clear of its aromatic foliage, reducing the frustration of unwanted browsing. This robust evergreen also brings beauty to your yard year-round, requiring only minimal upkeep for a polished appearance.
A live Spring Grove® Arborvitae is wonderful for festive décor in December. You can keep it inside for a while, enjoying the subtle natural fragrance and lush greenery. Once the holidays fade, simply transition it outside where it will continue to thrive as part of your landscape. Avoid the hassle of discarding an artificial piece and instead watch this living holiday accent enhance your yard for seasons to come.
Holiday Spring Grove® Arborvitae Care
Keep your arborvitae in a bright spot indoors from January until your region’s last frost, watering only when the topsoil feels slightly dry. If the indoor air is particularly dry, light misting or a humidity tray can help prevent needle browning. Rotate the container occasionally to maintain a balanced shape on all sides.
After danger of frost has passed, move your Spring Grove® Arborvitae outdoors for a few hours a day to acclimate it to the changing weather. Then, plant it in a sunny or partially shaded spot with moist, well-drained soil—avoid low-lying areas prone to standing water. Water thoroughly at planting and mulch around the base to preserve moisture while keeping the root flare exposed. Over time, this steadfast evergreen will reward you with a lush, deer-resistant screen or focal point in your garden.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
