American is listed by Daniels Nursery as an arborvitae, not a fruit cultivar. The catalog calls it “the most popular of the larger growing varieties” and describes deep green, soft, thick foliage. [S1]
The source gives no breeder, parentage, origin, release date, or cultivar history. It appears in a 1950 Daniels Nursery planting guide under “The Arborvitae,” with evergreen nursery plants for ornamental use. [S1]
Daniels promoted American as a landscape plant that performed well in ordinary soil and care. It could be trimmed into compact trees or left to grow naturally. The catalog presents it as a larger arborvitae for evergreen structure, not edible production. [S1]
The source gives no hardiness zone, winter survival claim, fruit description, culinary use, disease note, or lineage information. The only geographic context is Daniels Nursery’s northern United States and Minnesota setting. [S1]
