Sasquatch™ Dark Green Arborvitae isn't just another upright conifer—it's the evolution of one. Selected from thousands of 'Nigra' seedlings over four decades, this standout form was chosen for its deep, rich green color, exceptionally dense habit, and remarkable resistance to winter burn. Where many evergreens fade or bronze in harsh winters, this arborvitae stays steadfastly dark and lush.
What truly sets it apart is its unusual near-seedless nature. Traditional 'Nigra Dark Green' may be hardy, but it's also notorious for heavy cone production, which distracts from growth and creates a messy appearance. Sasquatch™ Dark Green Arborvitae avoids that problem almost entirely, channeling its energy into strong vertical growth and a naturally uniform structure. The result? Faster height, thicker coverage, and a cleaner, more polished look.
Built for landscapes that demand reliability, Sasquatch™ Dark Green Arborvitae thrives in heat, handles drought once established, and shows exceptional performance in extreme cold—making it a dream plant for northern gardeners seeking evergreen presence that doesn't fade. Whether you need a stately privacy screen, an anchor specimen, or a dependable structural element, this upright conifer delivers impressive scale with surprisingly little maintenance.
