GRUNE KUGEL WESTERN CEDAR
Thuja plicata 'Eschrich's Grune Kugel' is commonly referred to as Grune Kugel Western Red Cedar or Western Red Cedar. This unique dwarf western red cedar has all the characteristics and appeal of 'Spring Grove' Arborvitae, but in a small, mounding, globose form. It features glossy, mint green foliage that darkens with bronze-purple tips during the winter months. It is a slow-grower that tends to resist heavy snow loads to maintain an erect upright form without any real damage.
Eschrich's Grune Kugel Western Red Cedar is deer resistant and easy to care for. It thrives in mostly sunny conditions in rich, evenly moist, well-drained soils.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location that receives full sun to partial shade for the best foliage density and color. These evergreen species are adaptable, but they require consistent moisture to remain healthy and vibrant, particularly during the first few growing seasons until the root system is well established. Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead wood or to lightly shape the plant, avoiding deep cuts into old wood where foliage will not regrow. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
