An up and coming new dwarf or borderline miniature, it is slow growing and forms a dense irregular but pleasingly uniform rounded outline without shearing. Ideal as a stand alone or in groupings where low profile evergreens are desirable. This selection has also proven to be very effective as a hedging plant and readily takes to shearing and shaping – possible substitute for boxwood hedges.

Foliage:
The small bright green leaves are thickly arranged and if left un-sheared the outline is that of a delicately arranged crown of short thread-like shoots. Winter bronzing has not been seen to occur to any significant degree in -22 winter weather.

Bark:
No significant ornamental characteristics noted.

Flower:
No significant ornamental characteristics noted.

Fruit:
No significant ornamental characteristics noted. 

Size:
Height 24”-36”
Width 24-36”
Based on observations of 20-year-old plants in Ohio - growth rate averaging 4” per year and achieving dimensions 2’ x 2’ in 10 years.
Still evaluating for ultimate dimensions.

This fine introduction had existed from trials dating back over 20 years, but it has only recently been introduced to the trade. It was selected as one of the very best of a number of seedlings derived from the well-known Thuja occidentalis Filiformis, also known as Thread Leaf Eastern Arborvitae.
