In the Chicago region, the Mission Arborvitae, 'Techny', a cultivar discovered at a monastery in Techny, IL, has been a popular compact selection for several decades. It becomes a broad pyramidal form that holds green colour through the winter and it gets about 8 to 10 feet high by 5 to 6 feet wide in most landscape estimations, though it can eventually get to 15 feet high after many years.
