Simple Success

  • Keep the soil weed free and moist (not wet)
  • Add 2” of mulch
  • Apply an all-purpose fertilizer at planting and each spring
  • ‘American Pillar’ is more deer resistant than other arborvitae, but should be protected with netting or a repellent for at least its first year if deer browsing is a problem in your area.
