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.

Why Choose Pro Growers of New England for Arborvitaes?

At Pro Growers of New England, our arborvitaes are grown and maintained locally for real New England conditions — not boxed up and shipped across the country. Every plant is carefully selected, properly spaced, and allowed to develop strong root systems before ever leaving the nursery.

Unlike large online sellers, you’re welcome to visit our nursery in person, walk the rows, inspect the exact plants available, and see firsthand how they’re grown. That means no surprises, no guessing, and no damaged plants from long-distance transit.
