Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra' is a cultivar of arborvitae that is well suited for use in the home garden due to its dark green, evergreen foliage and its medium to large height of 15-18'; a larger spread of 8-10' feet wide makes this Thuja a great choice for well-spaced background hedge and border plantings, but dense foliage also makes 'Nigra' an excellent specimen tree, retaining its color better during the winter months than other Thuja varieties.

Dark green aborvitae prefers full to part sun, and average soil type and moisture, but can tolerate heat, cold, and some drought once established. Although it does not flower, Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra' attracts small birds and wildlife by offering cover and shelter; Thuja also acts as a host plant for bagworm moths.

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
