Interesting evergreens are as irresistible to plant geeks in the industry as they are to garden center shoppers, but they aren't always the easiest plant to produce - nor are they, necessarily, the handsomest in terms of container presentation. That's why we are thrilled to offer Whip It Good arborvitae ( Thuja occidentalis ), which is similar to the classic 'Whipcord' but improved in every way: its thread-like foliage is much longer and more dense, creating a far more appealing habit in the container and landscape. Best of all, it's fast-growing enough, and nice enough in a container, that growers can actually be profitable with it in production. An interesting and unexpected boxwood alternative that's also a landscape plant in its own right. Developed by the University of Georgia.
