The solution to deer problems! This fast-growing, cold-hardy selection of Western Arborvitae shows excellent resistance to deer browsing. Spring Grove was selected for its superior winter color and hardiness. It maintains a dark green, glossy color even in Midwest winters, and has survived -25 degree temperatures. The tight pyramidal habit works nicely in landscape designs. Its hardiness and deer resistance make it suitable for many suburban locations, especially for creating fast-growing privacy screens.
