Thuja occidentalis Caepitosa

Thuja occidentalis ‘Caespitosa’ is a distinctive dwarf arborvitae selected for its clustered, tufted growth habit rather than a single dominant leader. This unusual form creates a low, mound-like structure made up of multiple tight shoots, giving it a textural, almost cushion-like appearance. Rich green foliage provides year-round structure on a compact scale. It performs best in full sun to partial shade with evenly moist, well-drained soil and grows very slowly. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–7, it is well suited for rock gardens, troughs, and collector-focused landscapes.
