Thuja occidentalis Hetz Midget

Common Name: Hetz Midget Arborvitae

Description:
Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Midget' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, globe-shaped habit. Its fine-textured, bright green foliage remains vibrant year-round, taking on a subtle bronze tint in winter. This dwarf variety is perfect for borders, rockeries, foundation plantings, and container growing, where its naturally neat shape requires little to no pruning. Thriving in well-drained soils, 'Hetz Midget' prefers full sun to part shade and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution. Its small size and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for formal gardens and structured landscapes.
