Arborvitae
The Arborvitae for the North, American Arborvitaes (Thuja occidentalis)are very popular landscape trees and shrubs, typically narrowly pyramidal in shape, and valued for their dense foliage. Called variously Northern white cedar and American or Eastern arborvitae, these trees are among the big four evergreens found in American landscapes – the others are yews, spruce, and pine.

Trees For Special Situation
Many kinds of trees will grow reasonably well in poor light conditions if they are carefully planted in good soil with plenty of organic matter. If you have a space in your yard where the soil is compacted and drains poorly, here are a few trees species that tolerate moist to saturated soils.

Arborvitae Problems
Unfortunately American and Oriental Arborvitae are considered ice cream by deer and are quite vulnerable to deer browsing especially in the winter months. Do not be concerned if you notice some brown, dead leaves on arborvitaes at the same time the deciduous trees and shrubs are displaying their fall colors.

Cedar
Learning which trees are really and truly a “cedar” can be a bit confusing. Some trees have a cedar in their name but are not true cedars. Here we are discussing the true cedars, plants that are certainly wonderful candidates for the home landscape.
