More Information

Description Compact, perfectly round, and oh-so-satisfying, Mr. Bowling Ball Arborvitae (Thuja) is a perfect addition to any small gardening space. Place Mr. Bowling Ball in full sun and make sure to keep the soil moist and well-drained to maintain its simply-soft texture. Low-maintenance in nature, Mr. Bowling Ball needs no special pruning; however, sheering before the onset of new growth can help increase longevity. This adaptable dwarf Thuja grows up to 1-2.5 feet tall and wide, making it a perfect space-saving and evergreen addition to any garden. Just be sure you’re keeping these shrubs at least 3 feet apart to keep from any hedge overlap.

Fast-growing and impressive, arborvitae maintains its green-bluish hues color year-round. Add major curb appeal by creating a privacy fence, planting in rock gardens, or adding perennial beds to fill bare and boring spaces. In addition, its variety of sizes makes it an easy way to customize based on your unique gardening goals. Just make sure these shrubs and trees see lots of sunlight!
