    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Hetz Midget is a very small globe shaped arborvitae that is just right for small areas. It is useful in formal situations, and excellent for use as low hedging. It has a lush green color and attractive foliage and stands up under snow. Hetz Midget is a dwarf Arborvitae that really lives up to its name - growing to only 3-4' tall and wide in old age.

    DWARF. This is a dense compact globe, gray-green foliage which bronzes slightly in winter. A very attractive plant that should be used more.
