Thuja 'Hetz Midget'
Hetz Midget Arborvitea
Hetz Midget arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘Hetz Midget’) forms a small, dense globe of green foliage. Upright sprays create a fine texture, and the leaves can develop bronze tones during winter.
Its slow growth and rounded outline suit small gardens, low borders, and repeated foundation accents. Allow the shrub to keep its natural form instead of relying on frequent hard trimming.
Plant in full sun with moist, well-drained soil. Water consistently during establishment and allow enough room for the natural outline to develop.
