I trenched in eight of these as a thin hedge spacing them a foot part. I didn’t realize about half of them were defective until I had backfilled them lightly and went to straighten them up before finishing the backfill and snugging them in. They suffer from leaning trunk likely from improper growing conditions and care. I’ve never seen this issue before so I didn’t even think to check earlier in the process. Since I already put my labor into them I’m going to leave them with the trunk plumb and see how well and how quickly the young arborvitae can right itself on its own.

Ironically this was also a rare occasion I did a 100% native soil backfill, ND clay… so a ton of extra work with that material.

I suspect the cultivar itself is fine, but you would be better off sourcing these from a seller that doesn’t ship out defective units; in any case definitely inspect for this type of defect right away.

I added a photo so you can see the worst happen to be to the right, the final one is a bit comical.
