Mr. Bowling Ball Arborvitae 1 Live Plant – 3 Gallon Pot – Thuja occidentalis 'Mr. Bowling Ball'

Mr. Bowling Ball Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Mr. Bowling Ball') is a compact evergreen shrub known for its naturally rounded shape and exceptionally fine, soft-textured foliage. Its dense, globe-like growth habit provides year-round greenery and makes it an attractive choice for foundation plantings, low borders, rock gardens, and small ornamental landscapes.

Unlike traditional arborvitae varieties with flattened sprays of foliage, Mr. Bowling Ball develops delicate, threadlike green branchlets that create a feathery appearance. Its naturally symmetrical, rounded form generally requires little pruning, making it suitable for structured garden designs and mixed evergreen plantings.

Mr. Bowling Ball Arborvitae performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It has moderate water requirements and benefits from consistent moisture during establishment. Its compact growth habit and soft foliage texture also make it suitable for decorative outdoor containers.
