| Thuja orientalis 'Filiformis'
Threadleaf Arborvitae has medium green, lacy, evergreen foliage which bronzes just slightly in winter weather. It has an oval, upright growth habit with foliage that grows in whiplike strands. With maturity, takes on a very mounding, pendulous appearance. Most commonly used as a hedge spaced 4 feet apart - but is also a real attention getter when planted in small groups, or as single specimen plantings. Very unusual, and attractive plant. If you are a big fan of the pendulous "weeping" look, then this is one arborvitae that you should definitely take a closer look at.
