Narrative

Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Midget'. From cuttings of 14366-H taken about 2010. Notes from parent accession (NA 14366): Source: Collected from William Gotelli's collection by S. G. March. 1955 Green Ridge Nursery. Name reference: x 2/17/65 NRH to National Arboretum. Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz's Midget' was one of our discoveries. The parent plant was found in a batch of Thuja occidentalis seedlings growing at Fairview during the early 1930's. The most noteworthy characteristic is its extreme slow rate of growth. It makes a very dense rounded globe and 15 year old plants seldom exceed 18 in. in width or height, and in most cases are much less than this. (8/64) 6 plants 6 in.
