Description
Arborvitae Hertz Midget is a beautifully compact evergreen with a polished, globe-like form and dense, textural foliage. Its tidy, mounded shape and rich green color offer year-round interest, bringing elegance and structure to foundation plantings, borders, or rock gardens. This dwarf variety is ideal for tight spaces where larger shrubs would overwhelm, and it adds a lovely splash of formality or contrast in mixed landscape designs. With minimal upkeep and a satisfying, symmetrical habit, it’s one of the finest options for a refined evergreen accent.
General Care
- Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
- Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, requires only occasional watering during extended dry periods
- Mulching: Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperature
- Pruning: Rarely needed; if desired, prune lightly in early spring to maintain shape
With its compact size, slow growth, and polished appearance, Arborvitae Hertz Midget is a gorgeous solution for adding evergreen structure and tidy texture to smaller spaces or detailed landscape compositions.
