Narrative

Full name as recorded at U.S. National Arboretum: Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Midget'. From cuttings of NA 20822-H, propagated in 2010 when the parent plant was damaged in a winter storm and removed that March. Miscellaneous note from the record of the parent accession, NA 20822: x2/17/65 NRH to Nat. Arb.: "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 fifteen year old plants seldom exceed 18" in width or height, and in most cases are much less than this." From USNA 1966 foreign distribution of this accession: "A seedling selection made at the Fairview Evergreen Nurseries, Inc., Fairview, Pennsylvania in the early 1930's. A very dense, rounded globe reaching a size of 18 inches high by 18 inches wide in 15 years. Cuttings offered from a plant received in the Gotelli Conifer Collection." [There is no clear indication that this material came to William Gotelli from Fairview Evergreen Nurseries in spite of the description of its origins there. -SBL]
