Fluffy® Western Arborvitae 1 Live Plant – 3 Gallon Pot – Thuja plicata 'SMNTPGF'

Fluffy® Western Arborvitae (Thuja plicata 'SMNTPGF') is a distinctive evergreen conifer admired for its soft, finely textured foliage and naturally upright growth habit. This ornamental selection of western red cedar features unusual foliage that appears braided or woven, creating a graceful texture that stands out among traditional evergreen shrubs.

Its feathery, golden-green foliage develops along slender, upright branches, producing a dense, pyramidal silhouette. The bright foliage adds contrast to landscapes planted with darker green conifers, flowering shrubs, and ornamental grasses. Fluffy Arborvitae is well suited for foundation plantings, mixed evergreen borders, specimen plantings, and decorative landscape accents.

Fluffy Western Arborvitae performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Adequate sunlight helps maintain its attractive golden foliage coloration. Western arborvitae (Thuja plicata) is generally considered less attractive to deer than eastern arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis), although deer may still browse the foliage, particularly when other food sources are limited.
