Thujopsis dolabrata Nana

Common Name: Dwarf Hiba Arborvitae

Description:
Thujopsis dolabrata 'Nana', commonly known as Dwarf Hiba Arborvitae, is a compact, slow-growing evergreen conifer with a dense, rounded habit. Its thick, glossy, dark green foliage has a unique, scale-like texture, creating a lush and rich appearance. This hardy and low-maintenance shrub is perfect for borders, rockeries, foundation plantings, and container growing, where its year-round colour and texture add structure to the garden. Thriving in well-drained soils, 'Nana' prefers part shade but can tolerate full sun in cooler climates. It is highly resistant to cold, wind, and urban pollution, making it well-suited to Melbourne gardens.
