Arborvitae
Arborvitae bring a wonderful fragrance and look to many landscapes. Often used to screen homes, these trees are resistant to many diseases and do well in wet soil. A welcome home to birds, the essential oils from these trees are also used in soaps, insecticides, and hair products. Although Arborvitae trees offer a great shelter for smaller wildlife, they are susceptible to bagworms.
