Thuja occidentalis 'Nigra'
Choose Dark Green Arborvitae if you want a dense, traditional evergreen screen that fills in faster than Emerald Green Arborvitae; the tradeoff is deer browsing risk, so high-deer properties should choose something tougher.
Buy This If
- You need a dense green screen.
- You prefer a natural hedge shape.
- You can water during establishment.
Skip This If
- Deer are a daily problem.
- You need a very narrow plant.
- The site dries out often.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives a solid evergreen wall without the very formal look of tighter columnar arborvitae. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in quicker than many compact arborvitae, though it is not the fastest screen we carry. |
| Maintenance | B | It is manageable with occasional shaping, but watering and spacing matter early on. |
| Deer Resistance | D | This is not the arborvitae we would steer you toward where deer feed heavily. |
| Small Space Fit | C | It works better as a screen than as a tight foundation or walkway plant. |
| Screening Value | A- | Its dense habit and strong winter color make it a dependable privacy plant when deer are not the main issue. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Dark Green Arborvitae for homeowners who want a classic privacy row and have manageable deer pressure, not for exposed rural edges where browsing is routine.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it stay green in winter?
Yes, it is valued for holding a darker green color through cold weather.
Is it good for privacy?
Yes, that is its main job; plant it where it has room to fill out.
Do deer eat it?
They can, so choose Green Giant Arborvitae instead if deer pressure is high.
