Thuja occidentalis 'Skybound'

Thuja occidentalis ‘Skybound’ (Skybound Arborvitae) is a narrow, columnar evergreen prized for its dramatic vertical silhouette and vibrant, soft-textured foliage. Thriving in full sun to part shade and adaptable to a wide range of soils, it brings year-round structure to tight spaces, screens, or modern garden accents. Hardy in Canadian zones 2–7, this low-maintenance cultivar grows to 3–4 m (10–13 ft) tall while remaining just 0.6–1 m (2–3 ft) wide, making it perfect for hedges or focal points where space is at a premium.
