Thuja occidentalis Robusta Nana

Common Name: Robusta Nana Arborvitae

Description:
Thuja occidentalis 'Robusta Nana' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, upright, and slightly conical habit. Its rich green, fine-textured foliage maintains its vibrant colour throughout the year, sometimes taking on a subtle bronze tint in colder months. This hardy and low-maintenance shrub is perfect for small gardens, hedging, rockeries, and container plantings. Thriving in well-drained soils, ‘Robusta Nana’ prefers full sun to part shade and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution. Its naturally neat growth and durability make it a fantastic choice for formal and structured landscapes.
