Primo® Arborvitae 1 Live Plant – 3 Gallon Pot – Thuja occidentalis 'IslPrim'

Primo® Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'IslPrim') is a distinctive ornamental evergreen conifer valued for its compact growth habit, dense foliage, and naturally upright form. This slow-growing selection develops an attractive, narrow silhouette that provides year-round structure in small gardens, foundation plantings, rock gardens, and ornamental landscapes.

Its finely textured, scale-like foliage forms dense, layered sprays that create a sculptural appearance. Primo Arborvitae displays rich green foliage during the growing season, with seasonal bronze or olive tones possible during colder weather. Its compact, upright habit and naturally irregular branching give it a distinctive appearance compared with traditional arborvitae varieties.

Primo 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 slow growth and compact form make it suitable for specimen plantings, decorative outdoor containers, and landscapes where a small evergreen accent is desired.
