Now that Christmas and New Year’s is over, it is time to have a little talk about the North Pole. No, I am not referring to the home place of the Jolly St. Nick but North Pole arborvitae, Proven Winners Landscape Shrub of the Year for 2025.

North Pole arborvitae is known botanically as Thuja occidentalis and commonly called American Arborvitae, and Eastern White Cedar. and Tree of Life.

The North Pole, however, is one most worthy of the honor it received.
