All arborvitae here in the mid-west have multiply branches and stems which in heavy snow loads open up. Eastern arborvitae tends to have a single trunk, but has also been known to have multiple stems. Choosing your plants carefully might eliminate that concern. If heights are not important, concern some of the shorter, slower growing dwarf forms.
