The Thuja with Global Appeal

Why Hetz Midget Thuja Shrubs?

The Hetz Midget Thuja Shrub is a well-rounded evergreen, particularly for its wonderful globe silhouette and convenient dwarf size. Plus, it's a hardy and adaptable shrub that's excellent for everything from containers to rock gardens and plant beds.

Unlike ordinary columnar or pyramidal evergreens, the Hetz's distinctive shape will singlehandedly transform the design of your garden or landscape. Not to mention its rich, green foliage that's thick and full but slow-growing to enable a variety of suitable planting options. Plus, because it's slow-growing, that means frequent pruning is a thing of the past - you get a neat, tidy shape without much work.

And since it's a hardy shrub, the Hetz stands up to frigid winter temperatures all while maintaining its trademark forest green color. All of this and more means big looks for a small shrub. Especially because the Hetz's compact and rounded growth habit makes care simple.

Not as expected

Other thing else was very good except the plant not big as I think you should have bigger plants to buy. People's don't care how much they pay if it good to see right away for healthy big plant. Thank you.

Healthy, small shrubs, doing well on a terrace in the Northeast with excessive amounts of Spring rain!

Good shape and thriving; may have to replant in larger pots next year; good color and very attractive in pairs.
