Cupressaceae
Thuja occidentalis ‘Little Giant’ is a dwarf western cedar with a naturally globular and very dense habit, prized for its compactness and ease of maintenance. This evergreen conifer develops a rounded silhouette, wider than tall over time, ideal for rockeries, structured borders, and foundation plantings. Its medium green foliage maintains beautiful uniformity year-round and may take on a slight bronze hue in winter depending on climatic conditions. Its slow growth allows it to maintain a regular shape without frequent pruning. Very hardy and adaptable, Thuja occidentalis ‘Little Giant’ prefers well-drained soil and a sunny to partially shaded exposure. It is an excellent choice for providing permanent structure and balance to small-scale northern landscapes.
