Description:
Thuja occidentalis 'Froebelli' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, rounded habit and rich green foliage that takes on a bronze tint in winter.

This hardy and low-maintenance shrub thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to part shade. Resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution, ‘Froebelli’ is well-suited to Melbourne’s climate, offering year-round colour and structure with minimal care.
