An evergreen conifer selected for its rich, dark green foliage that retains good colour throughout the winter. It is a cultivar of the native Eastern White Cedar, offering a tighter, more formal appearance while still being well adapted to Ontario climates.
This variety is commonly used for privacy hedges, windbreaks, and screening plantings. It grows in a dense, narrow pyramidal form and performs best in full sun to partial shade in moist, well-drained soils.
