Thuja occidentalis 'DeGroot's Spire'
Choose Degroot's Spire Arborvitae for a tight, upright evergreen where width matters most; the tradeoff is that it is not our pick for fast privacy or heavy deer pressure.
Buy This If
- You need a narrow evergreen.
- You like a tighter, upright shape.
- You want texture without much pruning.
Skip This If
- You need fast hedge fill.
- Deer feed daily nearby.
- You want a broad screen.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | Its narrow column and twisted foliage give it more character than a plain green hedge. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows steadily, but the slim form means full screening takes patience. |
| Maintenance | A- | It usually keeps its shape with little pruning unless you want a very formal line. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | As a Thuja occidentalis selection, it is vulnerable where deer regularly browse arborvitae. |
| Small Space Fit | A | This is one of the better arborvitae choices when width is the limiting factor. |
| Screening Value | B | It screens well in tight runs, but it is not the fastest way to block a view. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Degroot's Spire for narrow evergreen structure, not as the default privacy hedge. Use it where its tight shape solves a space problem.

Customers Usually Ask
Will it make a privacy screen?
Yes, but choose it for tight spaces, not the fastest full screen.
Does it need trimming?
Usually light cleanup only; avoid hard shearing unless you want formality.
Is it safe from deer?
No; protect it where deer commonly browse arborvitae.
Why Choose Arborvitaes for Privacy & Year-Round Coverage?
Arborvitaes are the gold standard for privacy screens and evergreen structure in New England landscapes. Known for their dense foliage, year-round color, and cold hardiness, these fast-growing evergreens create natural boundaries, wind protection.
- Fast, Dense Privacy: Quick-growing varieties fill in efficiently to create natural screening from neighbors or roads.
- Year-Round Evergreen Color: Maintain consistent greenery through winter when other plants go dormant.
- Cold Hardy & Reliable: Built to withstand northern climates, arborvitaes provide dependable long-term structure.
