Professional Growing Information In hindsight would not have these shipped. Plants had extremely small root systems (not even half of the quart pot) and packaging was terrible compared to other plants shippers…there was dirt everywhere and none of the plants were still in pots. If you purchase these I would go through a nursery to guarantee bigger plants and bypass shipping. I have had great luck with Proven Winners, but will not order online again. I emailed all this info to the company and never got a response, which surprised me!

This is an outstanding little thuja! I like to give my plants a few years to grow and get established before I review them. I planted three of these three years ago, and they are doing amazing. I really have grown to love thuja, especially yellow toned ones. I grow many different varieties, but this is one of my absolute favorites. I have clay soil, a very windy yard, and very little rain this year, but these little beauties have taken it like champs.

Planted in spring 2016. Survived first summer in a full-sun location very well. Hot and dry summer, weekly watering were perfect. Although one shrub looks a little weak compared to the others. Love the color, it's a highlight next to the dark green foliage of other plantings.
