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.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: These shrubs are full to partial sun lovers that require around 3 to 6 hours of sunlight daily. They also prefer moist soil, though they can tolerate dry conditions and different soil types.

When you're ready to plant, dig a hole that is twice as big around as your shipped container and just as deep. Remove your shrub from the container and gently comb the roots to loosen the roots. Place the shrub in the hole, ensuring that the root ball is level. Backfill the hole and cover the area with mulch to help protect the roots.

2. Watering: Water when the soil is dry about 2 inches down - the timing will vary depending on climate and conditions.

3. Fertilizing: Hetz Midget Thujas do not need regular fertilization. You can fertilize the first spring to give them a boost - an evergreen-specific fertilizer is ideal.

4. Pruning: You can prune to maintain size and shape, but regular pruning is not required.
