Arborvitae, First Editions Tall Guy

Thuja occidentalis ‘RutThu5’

Tall Guy is a moderate to fast growing, upright, columnar arborvitae. Tall Guy was bred in Georgia and grows very well there. Happily, it doesn’t mind cold winters, surviving -33°F in Minnesota the winter of January 2019 without any winter burn. The same winter damaged other selections of Thuja occidentalis, some severely. Resistant to Passalora/Cercospora needle blight.
