Instant Privacy® Trees
“Thin Man” Arborviate
Thuja occidentalis "SMTOTM" *
Big Thin Man trees at our Nursery Tree Farm. The white measuring stick is 16' tall.
These are fast-growing trees.
This is a privacy tree we've spent years looking for and studying--a tree tall and narrow like the Emerald Green Arborvitae but faster-growing and taller at maturity. Introducing the "Thin Man" Arborvitae. To our knowledge we are the only nursery tree farm in the Northwest growing the "Thin Man" Arborvitae, with several thousand Thin Mans growing in our fields.
We planted a small crop of these trees several years ago and have since planted two other, larger, crops. We have been very satisfied and feel that these trees fill an important "gap" in privacy trees. But because this is a new cultivar we cannot be sure what the mature height, width, and growth rate under various circumstances such as "part-sun", so we are estimating those based on our experience.
Please note that Thin Man is a registered trademark of Spring Meadow Nursery, which also holds a patent on the tree. We pay a royalty for each seedling we plant.
ATTRIBUTES
Foliage: Evergreen
Mature Height: 20' (Estimated)
Mature Width: 4' (Estimated)
Sunlight: Full sun, partial sun--the more sunlight the better.
Soil:. Needs well-drained soil.
Growth Rate: Fast when receiving full sunlight. Growth slows down as the tree gets taller.
"Instant Privacy" Use: A narrow tree taller and faster growing than the Emerald Green Arborvitae..
"Instant Privacy" Spacing: 2' or 2.5’ “centers”.
What to Expect the First Year: As with all newly-planted trees, these need to be watered carefully through the first Spring/Summer--see our "Care of Your Trees" section for more details. Not as much growth the first year because the tree is putting its efforts into its root system. Younger trees show some brown cones.
Comments: As mentioned, these are our first crops of Thin Man trees and we are still learning about them.

Location: We’re conveniently located just 15 minutes north of Woodinville. Here's a link to our "Directions" page. Please also read the next section.
Farm Visits: We are a working farm not a retail nursery so we don't keep regular retail hours; instead we set up appointments so that we can focus on your project.

Covid-19 Precautions: Covid-19 caused us to make some changes in the way we do things. For a detailed break-down of these steps please see our "Covid-19 Precautions" webpage. These can change with the "ebb and flow" of the Covid virus and we respect any steps a person wants to take to protect themselves.

Customer Satisfaction: Most important of all is what our customers think of us:
"I am really pleased with your work. You saved me several thousand dollars, steered me away from trees that wouldn't work, provided healthy and beautiful trees, did a great job planting them, and did everything on time and on schedule. You can quote me." Jo, Vashon Island
"Our privacy bank of trees has done nothing but grow well into maturity. Our back yard and deck area is totally private and the 10 trees your team planted [in 2005] are rich, leathery and dark green. We remark on them every day it seems. Please include me in any of your "Testimonials" as you would be hard pressed to find a more satisfied customer." Jim, Port Orchard
"For quality vs. value, your trees are the best landscape purchase I’ve ever made." Jeff, Seattle
"Michael, I just wanted to pass along a note to tell you how thrilled I am with the trees. The effect they have brought to our new courtyard in the front of our home here in Seattle has exceeded my expectations!" Chip Hanauer, Hydroplane Driver--Click Here to see his project.
"I work in customer service so I know good service when I experience it and you have my top rating. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who needs new landscaping. Thanks again.” Carol, Camano Island
"The [new] trees were a great privacy feature when we sold the last house! We now have a much larger space we want to talk with you about . . " Katherine, Fall City
“My compliments to your crew. We’ve had a lot of contractors working on our house recently and we’ve seen the entire range; and your guys were excellent. The trees make things look so much better—I started smiling as soon as I saw them going in." Holly, Queen Anne
"You guys are the best nursery I've ever done business with! And I have dealt with a few. You did what you said you would, on time with attention to detail rarely found. From the beginning of the quote process all the way through to the last detail you made it easy. And you work to ensure that the trees will thrive after planting with detailed advice, a complementary irrigation system, and a website filled with useful information. Most nurseries will just dump off the goods and tell you best of luck, put some water on them. You provide a quality product that sets you apart. Your crew was friendly, polite and operated as a well organized team. I would recommend you without hesitation! Thanks for doing a great job!” Ryan, Buckley
"We can not believe how beautiful your trees are. The privacy is unbelievable. If you ever need a testimonial let us know. Our yard is perfect! We sit there and say "my oh my”! Suzanne, Tacoma
"I don't think I've ever been as happy with something I've purchased." Sarah, Sammamish
