Thuja occidenalis Teddy

Thuja occidentalis Teddy/

Round and small: the cuddly tree of life 'Teddy', botanically Thuja occidentalis, is as sweet and soft as a teddy! The tree of life, whose original home is in North America around the Great Lakes, is an indispensable ornamental tree in Europe. The extraordinary breed 'Teddy' is a very small thuja with a maximum height of only around 50 centimeters, which is suitable for any space! It comes into its own particularly well alone, but it is also a wonderful addition to a harmonious overall picture when planted in groups in the rock garden, heath or Japanese garden Color. And it always looks particularly cute! Its evergreen, soft needles conjure up accents in any location, even in winter. When cut, they also exude an enticingly spicy aroma. 'Teddy' is easy to care for, robust and extremely hardy.

The cuddly tree of life 'Teddy' hardly makes any demands. To thrive, it prefers a sunny to partially shaded location with fresh, nutrient-rich soil, but is generally very adaptable. Waterlogging should be avoided.
Please note that the plant or parts of the plant are poisonous!
