| Author's Notes | Had this Arborvitae in my garden for many years. One winter both of my plants split because of snow load. Pruned them and in a few years they looked good. Than the same thing happened. I gave up and removed. |
| Notes & Reference | As a juvenile plant the foliage is atypical of what you would expect of an Arborvitae. It is soft and lacy as opposed to the typical flattened stems and needles. (References: Johnson's Nursery Catalog, Menominee Falls, Wisconsin) |
