Description
‘Hetz Midget’ Arborvitae is a delightful dwarf evergreen that forms a compact, rounded globe shape, making it an excellent choice for smaller landscapes or front borders. Its finely textured foliage maintains a rich green color year-round, adding consistent structure and visual appeal to the garden. Thanks to its naturally neat habit, this hardy variety requires little maintenance to keep its tidy, globe-like form.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil: Performs best in moist, well-drained soil, but adapts to a range of soil types.
- Watering: Water regularly, especially during the first growing season. Once established, water as needed during extended dry periods.
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to conserve moisture and help regulate soil temperature; keep mulch away from the trunk.
- Pruning: Generally requires minimal pruning—if desired, trim lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain the rounded shape.
Ideal for foundation plantings, rock gardens, or as a charming accent in any landscape, ‘Hetz Midget’ Arborvitae delivers year-round beauty and a polished, low-maintenance presence.
