#9 - American Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis)
This native evergreen is very common in the landscape because it is tough, grows in almost any soil, and is an excellent choice for foundation planting, groupings, and for a hedge. The scale-like foliage is rich green in summer and yellowish green in winter. The tree is pyramidal in shape, grows to 40 feet tall and 15 feet wide, and has oval cones about ½ inch in diameter.
