Black Hills Spruce vs Eastern White Cedar (Arborvitae)Picea glauca var. densata Thuja occidentalis Black Hills Spruce is a subspecies of White Spruce native to the Black Hills of South Dakota. It has a strongly conical form, slower growth rate and denser foliage than typical white spruce, making it preferable as a specimen tree for smaller suburban lawns. It also responds well to pruning, and can be used as a hedge or even bonsai. Eastern White Cedar is a slender growing conifer often used as a decorative tree or a hedge. This tree is an effective privacy screen even in winter and a great long term solution to urban crowding or a drab yard. BLACK HILLS SPRUCE QUICK FACTSEASTERN WHITE CEDAR (ARBORVITAE) QUICK FACTS
