Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra' - black American arborvitae
Image: Ecker, Michael E. - The Dawes Arboretum
.
Common name: black American arborvitae
Family: Cupressaceae (cypress family)
Distribution: Species native to e. North America
Hardiness: USDA Zone 3
Life form: Evergreen tree
Comments: A selection first in commerce around 1930 but rarely seen today in the trade, This arborvitae clone is still a worthwhile cultivar for its dark green, scale like needles that retain excellent dark green color year-round. It grows tightly upright to about 25' tall but stays narrower than many forms, 6-8,' and serves as an excellent evergreen screen. Protect from deer browse in areas where populations of deer are high.
