Default Best Size Arborvitae to Plant

I don't mean to dodge the question, but does it snow where you live?
Heavy,
wet snow sometimes?


Yes, but not frequently. Maybe 2-3 times per year.


OK. I asked because the tall, slim arborvitae don't always hold up well with
heavy snow on their branches. It's not so much that they break, but they
assume new shapes that are difficult or impossible to correct. Sort of like
some people's hair when they first get out of bed.
