Thuja occidentalis ‘Mr. Bowling Ball’, commonly known as Eastern Arborvitae ‘Mr. Bowling Ball’, is a dwarf evergreen conifer with a perfectly globular and very dense habit, prized for its naturally rounded shape that requires no pruning. Its fine, grayish-green to bluish-green foliage forms a regular ball, reminiscent of a decorative ball in the garden. Compact and slow-growing, it is ideal for rockeries, borders, structured beds, or pots on a terrace. In winter, its foliage can take on a slight bronze hue, adding subtle seasonal interest. Thuja occidentalis ‘Mr. Bowling Ball’ prefers fresh, well-drained soil and tolerates full sun to partial shade. Very hardy, it offers permanent structure and a soft texture in cold climate landscaping.
