Little Simon Details
Little Simon’s parent, Emerald Green Arborvitae, is already an extremely popular evergreen tree due to its wonderful color, slow growth, and narrow habit. Little Simon has the same excellent color with even slower growth, making it an ideal low-growing hedge. It grows approximately 3” per year into a dense, small column.
It grows well in full sun and has no serious disease issues. It has very low maintenance needs, with only a light pruning required once per year to even out the shape. It is hardy to USDA Zone 3 and can be grown in most parts of the USA. It does very well in containers.
Little Simon is a good candidate for a replacement for low boxwood hedges that have been infected with Boxwood Blight.
