Nigra

Nigra Cedar (Thuja occidentalis ‘Nigra’)

The Nigra Cedar, also known as Dark American Arborvitae, is a hardy evergreen cedar variety prized for its rich deep-green foliage that remains vibrant year-round. Unlike some other cedars, the Nigra maintains its color even through the harshest winters, making it an excellent choice for the Canadian climate.

With its dense, upright growth and narrow pyramid shape, the Nigra cedar is ideal for creating natural privacy screens, windbreaks, or noise barriers. It grows quickly—typically up to 12–18 inches per year—and forms a thick hedge that provides both beauty and protection to any property.

Low-maintenance and long-lasting, the Nigra cedar thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to most soils when planted with proper drainage. It is a top choice for homeowners, landscapers, and property developers seeking a durable, elegant, and environmentally friendly living fence solution.
