"Planting the hearty evergreen tree known as pyramidal arborvitae is a low maintenance project for homeowners who wish to create a natural privacy screen, property border or wind block. Pyramidal arborvitae aren't overly fussy about the soil they're growing in, doing equally well in both alkaline and acidic soils, as long as the soil is moist. They do best in growing zones three through eight and favor direct sunlight, though they can still grow quite tall and strong in partial shade." Their hardiness is now in question, even the landscapers can't keep them alive.
