Spring Grove® is a fast growing, cold hardy selection of Western arborvitae shows excellent resistance to deer browsing. Selected for its superior winter color and hardiness, it maintains a dark green, glossy color even in winter and has survived -25°F temperatures. The tight pyramidal habit makes it an especially nice choice for creating fast-growing privacy screens.
