Description

If you’re into the quirky and unusual, meet ‘Whipcord’, an Arborvitae that looks like no other. And this tree form topiary form takes it to a whole new level or quirkiness! Instead of the flat, fan-like sprays of our native western arborvitae, Whipcord sports a hairdo of thin, cord-like branches that resemble a mop of dreadlocks. What’s truly amazing is that Whipcord originated from a chance seedling among a grove of western cedar trees in Oregon. All grown up this single trunk tree might reach 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 to 5 feet wide.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 5 to 6 feet tall and wide, this Whipcord Arborvitae tree form is ideal for use as a specimen in smaller garden spaces and is really nice as a solo in pots where it does a spectacular job of showing off its “hairdo.” A fine addition to oddity gardens, conifer gardens, rock gardens and formal gardens.

Growing Preferences

Arborvitae are very easy to grow and care for. They are adaptable to many soil types including red clay and like full sun to part shade. They prefer a moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and don’t like an overly dry site. As with so many other ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. Maintenance is minimal with very little if any pruning ever required.
