Do any of you have any positives or negatives concerning the shrub DeGroot Arborvitae? There were 5 planted at the NC Fair and I liked the softness of the needles. They look very much like the False Cypress but I finally realized they were Arborvitae. Tall and narrow. They seem to grow wider than a Sky Pencil Holly.

I'm thinking of using 5 as a division between my yard and a neighbors. Not used as a true hedge but just to break the view a little. I don't know how they do in this area. Are our summers too hot? Any help will be appreciated.
