Sting® Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Sting') is a distinctive evergreen conifer valued for its exceptionally narrow, upright growth habit and rich green, scale-like foliage. Its naturally slender, columnar form creates a striking vertical accent in modern landscapes, formal gardens, foundation plantings, and narrow planting spaces.

Unlike broader arborvitae selections, Sting Arborvitae develops a tightly upright silhouette with dense evergreen foliage. Its architectural appearance makes it particularly suitable for entryway accents, narrow garden borders, structured landscape designs, and grouped vertical plantings. The foliage provides year-round greenery and maintains an attractive appearance throughout the seasons.

You will receive one live Sting Arborvitae plant in a 1 gallon nursery pot. The actual plant size, branching, foliage density, and overall appearance may vary depending on nursery growing conditions and seasonal growth.

Sting Arborvitae generally performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. As an evergreen conifer, it normally retains its foliage throughout the year, although some seasonal color changes may occur during colder weather.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

Important Note:

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
