| Thuja orientalis 'Nana'
This arborvitae takes on a somewhat pyramidal shape as it matures, and makes a nice formal planting. Orientalis nana is a smaller, more compact version of the original Oriental Arborvitae - reminds us of a Berckmans Gold with blue-green coloration instead of the golden yellow. Has very dense, bluish green foliage whose tips turn a plum purple in the winter months. Moderate growth, and very hardy - making it a great selection for many landscapes. Loves full sun, but will accept partial shade as well. Handles a wide variety of soil conditions, but prefers any soil that drains well. Eventually produces bluish white "cones", which turn brown as they ripen in fall & winter.
