WHIP IT GOOD ARBORVITAE

Thuja occidentalis 'Whip It Good' is an eye-catching, weeping dwarf Eastern Arborvitae cultivar valued for its unusual thread-like foliage and highly architectural form. Growing slowly to a mature height of 4 to 5 feet with an equal spread, it produces thin, cord-like, pendulous branchlets that drape loosely from a central framework, giving the plant a distinctive shaggy or "whipped" texture. The threadleaf foliage emerges a soft chartreuse-green in spring before aging to a deep emerald green, often taking on warm bronze-amber tones in harsh winter conditions. Its compact size and weeping habit make it an exceptional focal point for rock gardens, mixed conifer borders, foundation beds, or container plantings where its weeping structure can be highlighted.

Caring for 'Whip It Good' Arborvitae centers on providing consistent root moisture and full sun exposure (at least 6 hours of direct light daily) to keep its dense, cord-like foliage vibrant and healthy. It thrives in fertile, moist, organically rich soils that drain freely, with a preference for slightly acidic to neutral pH levels; heavy, wet, standing water should be avoided to prevent root rot. Hardy in USDA Zones 3 through 8, it tolerates cold northern winters well, though a 2- to 3-inch layer of organic mulch around the root zone helps insulate roots and conserve soil moisture during summer heat.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to partial shade for the best foliage density and color. These evergreen species are adaptable, but they require consistent moisture to remain healthy and vibrant, particularly during the first few growing seasons until the root system is well established. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to lightly shape the plant, avoiding deep cuts into old wood where foliage will not regrow. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
