Primo Dwarf Arborvitae - Thuja occidentalis 'Primo'

Regular price $24.99

We are in love with this Primo Arborvitae and it's become a true favorite. The Primo is a great anchor tree for the miniature garden bed. Let me count the ways:

- The bark on the trunk already looks aged and the reddish-brown trunk - color contrasts nicely with the rich, emerald green color of the foliage. 

- It's very well-behaved and easy to grow. If it's planted in-ground it is drought-tolerant (but still need water in the dry months.) If it's in a container, just make sure it doesn't dry out too much for too long by letting the soil dry out to wrung-sponge-damp in between watering sessions. 

- With its ruggedness and finely textured, dark green foliage, it really looks like a big forest tree - but in miniature. 

- It's a slower and smaller version of the Zmatlik. It's daintier in shape and grows into a narrower cone shape.

- The winter blush is a deep amber color and will turn back to green when the weather warms up. A nice treat in the middle of winter!
