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.

- Check out the photos on this page, the winter blush is a deep amber color and will turn back to that emerald green color when the weather warms up. 

  • Upright narrow in shape
  • Compact growth
  • Winter's blush is deep golden amber
  • Remove any brown leaves, or conifer dieback, when you see it, it's how it exfoliates.
  • Hardy to -40F or Zones 2 - 7
  • Heat zones 7 - 1
  • Estimated growth rate is 2" to 5" per year
  • Full sun to part sun
  • Regular water with well drained soil
  • If in a pot, let dry out to barely damp in between to avoid over watering
  • If in a pot, shelter from extreme hot sun in late afternoon in the summer
  • Comes in a 4” pot
  • An outdoor plant
