- It is easy to buy arborvitaes for a quick privacy hedge in the garden. Arborvitaes are relatively fast growing, not really expensive and are evergreen - what more to desire from a privacy hedge, especially in a busy suburban environment?
Well, can we plant arborvitaes in part shade? And what to expect from them if you do that?
Let's talk!

great presentation❤❤❤❤
Great! I just planted yesterday two emerald arborvitaes and two blue point junipers, all four feet tall, in a spot where they'll get at least 10 hours of bright sun. Grow you babies, grow!
This is so helpful! I’ve been wondering about that because I was thinking to plant some arborvitaes under a shade canopy to define the border of a new garden I’m creating. So now I know I either need to plant tall ones or go with something different. Thank you for this information!!
Beautiful arborvitaes, they are the bees knees.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on arborvitaes. I've been considering adding a few of them to my garden.
Your garden is beautiful!
love your garden :)
Thank you for sharing this info!
This is very helpful. It’s often hard to find info on what plants look like when grown in different conditions. The tags and info on nursery websites will just say “full sun” or whatever but it’s hard to know what the growth will look like in less sun. Will it be leggy and scraggly? Or will it just grow more slowly? Etc. So this was helpful to see.
great content!
Great info! thanks a lot!

What privacy screen shrub would you recommend for under a canopy?
Beautiful arborvitae, Olga! Question for you or anyone in the chat...my full sun arborvitae are brown inside, but they are green just like Olga's on the outside. Is this normal? Thank you in advance! Happy gardening! 🌱
Yes, the insides get shaded and the foliage dies back. That’s normal. Just be aware that they often don’t sprout new growth from bare wood, so if you prune it back too far, it might not recover and you will have a bare spot.
I was told that they will shed inside heavily every 3rd year. Also, the brown needles might indicate it is dry (if you haven’t had rainfall like us)
I know that many folks used to be skeptical of growing arborvitie because of severe bagg worm infestations. Do you ever have problems with the bagg worm. I am a fan of the beautiful giant green thuja,used as a landscape wind break. At maturity they make such a grand showing.
