Arborvitae Techny is a clone of its parent plant the White Cedar or American Arborvitae. This special cultivar was found growing in the wild and due to its strong characteristics has been cloned ever since. It is a medium growing (1-2ft per year) evergreen that has a dark green soft foliage. In September of each year it "sheds " all the growth that grew out the previous year and it drops to the ground creating a very nice mulch around the tree.

They will grow 30+ ft tall and 15+ft wide and the spreading root system is very wind firm but the wood is not quite so strong and can be damaged by high winds, snow and ice. This tree can live100 years or longer, its parent plant can live over 500 years in the north. The foliage extends down to the ground, excellent for blocking winds.
