Proven Winners® Tater Tot® Arborvitae - Compact Globe Evergreen Shrub

Compact Globe Arborvitae for Modern Landscapes

The Tater Tot Arborvitae is a dwarf evergreen cultivar of Thuja occidentalis, engineered for a naturally rounded, globe-like form. Its dense branching structure eliminates the need for frequent shaping, making it a functional choice for low-maintenance garden designs.

Growth and Maintenance Characteristics

This shrub maintains a consistent, compact silhouette, reaching its mature size without aggressive growth. To ensure optimal health and foliage density, plant in locations receiving full to partial sunlight. Adequate soil drainage is essential to support root development and prevent moisture-related stress. During the initial establishment phase, consistent irrigation is required to maintain soil moisture levels.

Landscape Applications

• Garden Borders: Its uniform shape serves as a structured element in perennial beds or along walkways.
• Container Gardening: The compact root system allows for successful growth in decorative containers, provided the pot offers sufficient drainage.
• Foundation Planting: Its small stature makes it suitable for placement near building foundations without obstructing windows or architectural features.

For regions prone to harsh winter winds, providing a sheltered location or temporary protection helps maintain foliage integrity and prevents winter desiccation.
