Thuja Steeplechase PP#16,094

'Steeplechase' has all the merits of ever-popular Thuja 'Green Giant': rapid growth, foliage right down to the ground, dense habit, tolerance of heat, humidity, drought, cold, and heavy ice and snow loads - it's even unpalatable to deer, so it makes a terrific perimeter planting! But in addition to all this, it's simply beautiful, with richly fragrant foliage that is so finely cut it resembles fern fronds, and a neat pyramidal shape that never needs trimming.

Its foliage is more deeply and finely cut, for a billowy, feathery look; and the top of the plant grows in evenly. These winning attributes keep 'Steeplechase' attractive even when young, especially in patio and other up-close settings. You will love touching the foliage of this magnificent evergreen, and will appreciate the quick, uniform coverage it provides.

Happy in full sun to light shade and even in heavy clay soils, this tree appreciates being thoroughly watered and fed the first few seasons, to jump-start its growth. After that, it's so low-maintenance it's practically self-sufficient!
