It’s perfect as a shapely specimen in your landscape, to add structure and interest to your perennial garden, or as part of your rock garden or dwarf conifer collection. Also nice in containers, and holds on to lights very well for holiday décor. This versatile little evergreen from Proven Winners isn’t fussy about soil and can grow well in sun or part shade. Details Botanical name: Thuja occidentalis 'SMNTOBAB'

How To Grow Soil: Best grown in moist, fertile, well-drained soils. Tolerates somewhat wide range of soils and some dry conditions. Poorly drained and wet sites should be avoided.
Light: Full sun (6 hrs direct light daily), Partial sun/shade (4-6 hrs light daily)
Water: Keep moist. Water 1 inch a week. Appreciates well-drained soil.
Spacing: 2 ft
Fertilizing: Top dress in spring with a slow-release, balanced fertilizer.
Winterizing: Consider applying a thick mulch around the root zone in winter to protect it in exposed locations or colder zones. Tolerates wind once established and withstands heavy ice or snow. Darkens or bronzes slightly in the winter. Note -- The oldest interior branchlets on arborvitae usually turn brown and fall off in autumn. This aging process is different from drought stress, which on arborvitae appears on the tree outside the interior foliage as an abnormal yellowing or browning, known as flagging. This discoloration may not occur until a season or two after the drought stress was most severe.
Maintenance & Pruning: Requires little or no pruning but can be sheared easily if necessary.   If pruning, avoid pruning in late summer or fall as pruning stimulates new growth, which can be easily damaged by fall and winter temperatures.

I love these little guys. They're perfect for small areas and never need pruning. My son & his wife liked the way they looked on a recent visit and ordered 7 for their front yard!

Trying Tater Tot Arborvitae in pots.

I purchased 6 Tater Tots last year and though small they did extremely well. I’m purchasing another 6 this year and have put them in pots hoping to achieve a Boxwood look. I like the look of Boxwoods in pots, but they don’t do well in our area.

Maybe the cutest plant I have ever bought

This is a beautiful little arb! It is soft and has a nice fresh smell to it. It arrived in perfect condition because this company takes great care in packaging your plant orders.
