Great news for people who garden with deer: Thuja plicata tends to be more deer resistant than occidentalis.

Hey everyone! There's been quite a bit of confusion regarding the mature width of this arb. The Proven Winner's website states that it grows 5-10' wide, the plant tag (which is what I was using for my info) says 2-3' wide. Both are wrong! So, I contacted the grower and they confirmed that actual width is somewhere between 3-6' wide. 🤪I'm going to leave Fluffy in her spot for now. Since she's not receiving full FULL sun, she may stay on the more narrow side of things... 🤞I'll keep you updated, and I'm SO sorry about the confusion! We try really hard to have correct info all the time. 💚

How funny, I was just planting a few yellow thuja's, though mine are the Eastern type, but I love the 'whispy' quality of this variety.


As I watched you plant it, I realized how lovely these would be in matching planters flanking a new walk I am making for our front entrance. I think they'd probably handle a few years in good sized pots.


I have one old thuja still in a pot for about 10 years now. It was rimmed with hostas and a few years back it was just too large for the hostas, but I still have the poor ole girl in there, but it just looks so good on the terrace. I think next year I'll 'set her free' and replace her with a dwarf conifer.


Isn't it funny how are plants/trees/shrubs are little 'pets' in the garden and I often talk to my plants when potting or planting them. When you called it 'her' I thought, "Ah yes, another way that Laura IS a Kindred Spirit" :)


Again, look forward to your videos each morning with a hot cuppa.

I am one who slows down the videos to try to catch a glimpse of what mulch your using. Thank you for talking about it today!

Thanks for the update on the northern arbs, looking great very impressive. Love the fluffy one for that area!🌞😁

[katiemccarty]

When you train the trees onto the arbors/trellis/arches please do a video showing how to do this, and then a follow up video on how you are continuing to do so as it is growing.

[christinepops]

Love the chartreuse color and you gotta love that it's fluffy! Can't wait to see what's going on those arches.

[rebeccawoodbixler]

Wow the growth on those Arborvitae and I just love Fluffy! 💚🌿

[anetfigueroa]

Omg!!! Loved this plant! When are we getting blessed with a long tour video!?!? Dying to see how everything is progressing and growing! I have t seen the hydrangeas you guys planted in front of the formal garden by the drive Way you guys planted! 💖💖💖😂

[leesaaugustine]

I agree about mulching, my gardens look so better after mulching! And it is satisfying! As I have mentioned before, I have learned so much watching your videos - an excellent tool & learning source! Love them!!!! 🥰👍🌿🌲🌿🌲🌿💚🌿🙌🌿

[kyrad]

I'm really happy to see you using the un-dyed mulch.

[emmylivingston]

Love the Arbs...but can we talk about how amazing all of the Silver Falls look! Simply Stunning!🧡

[christycoalson]

Beautiful... Lookin forward to seeing what you do to the area where the oaks were taken out. But that fluffy is pretty. Can't wait to get our land so we can plant nice trees. Have a blessed day 😊

[phyllisroark]

Love my mornings with these two! Fluffy is very pretty. The Northpoles wow! I remember when you planted them. Am I the only one LOVES when we get a sneak peak of other parts of the garden? See ya tomorrow!

[lynseylawton-roberts]

What an endearing name, ‘Fluffy’, love this tree x

[lisawalters]

The Fluffy may just be perfect for a spot I have had for 3 years trying to figure out what I want there. It’s a north corner of my house. The size, everything is just perfect I believe. Thanks so much for the intro to this soft and beautiful plant. Woo hoo! 👏🏻💕👏🏻

[blissful]

As a crazy gardener who believes plants have some kind of innate personalities somewhere in there, I couldn’t help but smile because the line of arborvitaes looked like proud soldiers standing up a little taller and puffing out a little more as you were praising their hardiness and growth heehee 💪🏼😁 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Lovely trees all!

[bambilover]

Oh my goodness, the way those branches bounced and swayed as you planted it was absolutely magical!

[carolbeatty]

Coffee with Laura and planting a beautifully colored Arborvitae!! That light green color is so fun and just adds a pop in the garden. So neat to see the way the other Arbs have grown as I remember watching the video where you planted them. Would love to get some of these on our playground as I think the children would enjoy the fluffy appearance!!! Another plant for the list!
