- Watering: Keep consistently watered during the first year to establish healthy roots. Once established, occasional deep watering is beneficial during hot, dry periods.

- Pruning: Typically maintains its round shape with minimal trimming; prune lightly in late spring or early summer if desired.
With its small stature and neat form, ‘Tator Tot’ Arborvitae offers a space-saving solution for bringing evergreen beauty to your garden.
