Thuja orientalis Nana

Common Name: Dwarf Oriental Thuja

Description:
Thuja orientalis 'Nana' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, rounded habit and fine, feathery foliage. Its bright green leaves maintain their vibrant colour throughout the year, sometimes developing a soft bronze tint in winter. This dwarf variety is perfect for rockeries, borders, foundation plantings, and container gardening, offering a neat, low-maintenance structure with minimal pruning required. Thriving in well-drained soils, 'Nana' prefers full sun to part shade and is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution. Its naturally compact shape makes it an excellent choice for small gardens and formal landscapes.
