Thuja occidentalis Danica

Common Name: Danica Arborvitae

Description:
Thuja occidentalis 'Danica' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, globe-shaped habit. Its soft, bright green foliage maintains a lush appearance throughout the year, taking on a slight bronze tint in colder months. This hardy, low-maintenance shrub is perfect for borders, rockeries, foundation plantings, and container growing. Thriving in well-drained soils, ‘Danica’ prefers full sun to part shade and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution. Its naturally neat and rounded growth habit makes it an excellent choice for formal gardens and small landscapes.
