Description:
Thuja occidentalis 'Stolwijk' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer known for its unique variegated foliage.

This dense, rounded shrub maintains its vibrant colour year-round, with subtle bronze tones developing in winter. Perfect for borders, rockeries, foundation plantings, or container growing, 'Stolwijk' thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to part shade.
