Thirty-seven plants is the whole remaining stock — there is no more coming this season.
Buying ten or more? The price comes down automatically. 10–24 plants take 5% off, 25–49 take 7.5%, 50–99 take 10%, and 100 or more take 12.5%. It applies in the cart with no code, and the count runs across your whole order of arborvitae, upright juniper and privet — so mixing varieties still gets you there.
Should you buy North Pole or Emerald Green?
Worth being straight about this, because the two are close relatives and the price gap is wide. Both are Thuja occidentalis, both native, both finish at about 12½ feet tall and 4 feet wide, both go in at 3 feet on centre, and neither is deer resistant.
| North Pole® | Emerald Green | |
|---|---|---|
| Mature size | 12.5 ft × 4 ft | 12.5 ft × 4 ft |
| Habit | Narrow, columnar, upright | Narrow pyramidal |
| Spacing | 3 ft on centre | 3 ft on centre |
| Growth rate | Moderate | Moderate |
| Hardiness | Zone 3a–7b | Zone 3a–8b |
| Deer | Not deer resistant | Not deer resistant |
| 4–5 ft price | $149.00 | $50–$60 |
If you are planting a long hedge on a budget, Emerald Green is the sensible choice — same mature size, same spacing, and a fraction of the price at 4–5 ft. Buy North Pole when you specifically want the Proven Winners selection and its tighter columnar form, or when you need a handful of matched specimens rather than a hundred feet of screen.
How many do you need?
North Pole is planted at 3 feet on centre, the same as the rest of our arborvitae. Run length divided by 3, plus one to close the end. Prices below include the volume discount at each quantity.
| Run length | Plants | Plants at $149 (4–5 ft) | Installed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 25 feet | 10 | $1,415.50 (5% off) | $1,715.50 |
| 50 feet | 18 | $2,547.90 (5% off) | $3,087.90 |
| 75 feet | 26 | $3,583.45 (7.5% off) | $4,363.45 |
Twenty-seven plants in the 4–5 ft grade covers a run of about 75 feet, and that is the whole grade. Anything longer means mixing in the 5–6 ft or choosing a different variety. Our hedge calculator works out any length, with installation and sales tax.

Common questions
How big does North Pole arborvitae get?
About 12.5 feet tall and 4 feet wide at maturity. It holds a narrow columnar shape as it goes, which is the point of the selection — it gives you height without spreading into the bed.
How fast does North Pole arborvitae grow?
Moderate. It is not a fast screening tree — if speed is what you need, Green Giant is rated fast and reaches 30 feet. North Pole is the choice when you want a controlled, narrow column rather than bulk.
How far apart should I plant North Pole arborvitae?
Three feet on centre, the same as our other arborvitae. A 90 foot run works out at 31 plants.
Is there a discount for buying a lot?
Yes, and it applies automatically in the cart. Ten or more plants take 5% off, twenty-five or more 7.5%, fifty or more 10%, and a hundred or more 12.5%. The count is across your whole order of arborvitae, upright juniper and privet.
Is North Pole arborvitae deer resistant?
No. Like Emerald Green, it is a Thuja occidentalis and deer will browse it, particularly over winter. Green Giant is the deer-resistant option.
Will it survive a New Hampshire winter?
Easily. It is hardy to zone 3a — colder than anywhere in New England — and it was selected specifically for cold climates.
What is the difference between North Pole and Emerald Green?
Less than you might expect. Same species, same mature size, same spacing, same growth rate, both native, neither deer resistant. North Pole is a Proven Winners selection with a tighter columnar habit; Emerald Green is a fraction of the price at 4–5 ft. Both are installable.
Is North Pole a Proven Winners plant?
Yes — North Pole® is part of the Proven Winners ColorChoice range.
