Care and Maintenance:

Arborvitae trees are easy to care for and require minimal maintenance. They prefer well-draining soil and a moderate amount of sunlight. Water them regularly during the first few years of growth and during dry periods. Prune them in the late winter or early spring to maintain their shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Additionally, apply a slow-release fertilizer in the spring to promote healthy growth.
