Wholesale Thin Man Arborvitae, Field-Grown in NJ

A fast screen for the tightest spots. Thin Man is one of the narrowest screening arborvitae, fills in quickly, and holds good green color through winter.

Field-grown in New Jersey and sold B&B at 12–14 ft. Call or email for current pricing and availability.

Grown here since its introduction

We've grown Thin Man since it was introduced to the trade. Our first liners were planted in 2019. Seven years later, they're 12–14 ft B&B trees.

2019: our first Thin Man liners.

2026: Thin Man in the field at 12–14 ft, ready to dig.

Why it works

Fits tight spaces: side yards, between houses, along walls and drives.
Tops out lower: 12–15 ft, for spots where a 20-ft wall is too much.
Fast, dense growth: privacy in a few seasons.
Winter color: stays green, not bronze.
Native species: a selection of our eastern arborvitae.

Sizes we grow

Soil and site

Adaptable. Best in moist, well-drained soil with steady water the first season. Full sun to part sun.

Pruning and planting

Pruning is optional. If needed, trim in early spring before new growth starts. For a solid hedge, plant 2–3 ft apart.
