Planting & Care

The process of planting and tending to your Wintergreen Arborvitae includes various important measures to promote its health and growth:

Planting:

1. Selecting the Location: This Arborvitae thrives best in full sunlight, thus it is important to choose a site that enjoys at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Although it is adaptable, it prefers well-drained soil to avert water logging.

2. Digging the Hole: The hole should be 1 1/2 times the width and just as deep as the root ball of the tree.

3. Planting: Position the plant within the hole, making certain that the upper part of the root ball is either level with or slightly elevated above the ground surface. Refill the hole with soil, gently compacting it around the root ball.

4. Watering: After planting, water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots to make sure of no air pockets.

Care:

1. Watering: The Wintergreen Arborvitae has moderate water needs. While it's establishing, ensure it gets regular water. Once established, it's fairly drought-tolerant but will appreciate consistent moisture, especially in dry periods. Avoid waterlogging as this can lead to root rot.

2. Fertilizing: Feed with a slow-release (14-14-14), balanced fertilizer once a year in early spring to promote vigorous growth.

3. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.

4. Pruning: The Wintergreen Arborvitae typically doesn't require much pruning due to its naturally neat, columnar growth habit. If necessary, light pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to maintain shape or remove any dead or damaged branches.

5. Monitoring Growth: Even though it shows resistance to typical diseases like Passalora/Cercospora needle blight, it is essential to consistently monitor your plant for any signs of pests or disease. If you detect anything unusual, please consult a local extension service or a reputable nursery for assistance.
