Thuja occidentalis 'Compacta'
Thuja occidentalis ‘Compacta’ is a small, evergreen conifer with a dense, narrow habit, perfect for urban gardens, low hedges, borders, or containers. This dwarf form of American arborvitae creates a compact column of dark green foliage that remains attractive year-round. Slow-growing, it maintains a neat silhouette without frequent pruning, making it an excellent option for confined spaces or formal arrangements. Very hardy (zone 3) and easy to grow, it thrives in full sun to partial shade, in well-drained soil, and easily integrates into structured or natural landscape compositions.
