PLANT DESCRIPTIONS & FACTS   
 
Thuja Orientalis 'Blue Cone'
 
Overall Description
 
  This is an uncommon arborvitae, yet a wonderful addition to your landscape. Bright green foliage in vertical sprays with little, if any, bronzing in the winter. Distinguishing feature is the bright glaucous blue cones which are a great contrast against the green foliage. Grows in an upright oval, almost egg-shaped habit. Good growth rate, broad oval shape, and dense green foliage make this arborvitae a good choice for a screen or border of a moderate height.

Fertilization / Feeding:
For maximum health & hardiness, we highly recommend POOPeas for use with all of evergreen species. However, either water soluble ( Miracle Gro, or equivalent ), or granular fertilizers ( Holly Tone is excellent ) are also good options. Most any granular fertilizers with a 6-12-12, or 10-10-10 ratio are also acceptable. Best to fertilize in early spring, and again in mid fall - avoid feeding standard chemical fertilizers during hot summer months, and directly after transplanting. POOPeas may be used at anytime.
