I bought five of these spring 2019. Only two are surving and oddly enough those two are getting the most shade. The others are drying out and dying. There is brown tips on the foliage of the other three. I will have to buy three more to replace the dead/ dying ones. I am not thrilled with the performance of these shrubs.

Maintenance Notes:Arborvitae likes well-drained but moist soil, and benefits from a 2-3" layer of mulch. It needs little to no pruning, but if you wish to prune, do so in spring, after the new growth has begun to flush out. Avoid cutting into any thick or old stems.
