Thuja occidentalis ”RutThu4′

Deer Resistant Icon

Plant Type: Conifer Shrubs

Planet Earth® has a perfectly rounded, dense habit without any shearing. It is similar in size to Little Giant but has better foliage density giving it a more formal look. The foliage takes on bronze tones in colder climates. Happily, it doesn’t mind cold winters, surviving -33°F in January 2019 without any burn. Resistant to Passalora/Cercospora needle blight.
