Taller than Big Foot and better smelling too, you’re going to go ape for this selection of our native Arborvitae. Sasquatch Dark Green is an extremely hardy, conical native evergreen that produces very few cones, enabling it to put more energy into growing fast – up to 3-5’ per year! And like Sasquatch, it requires very little grooming. Reportedly, this selection derives from thousands of Thuja occidentalis ‘Nigra’ seedlings tested over a 40-year span to find the optimal offspring.
