Anna’S Magic Ball
Thuja
This bright gold dwarf conifer is a versatile, colorful evergreen that offers a unique appeal for landscapes and gardens. Anna’s Magic Ball® Thuja occidentalis provides year-round interest with its charming globe-shaped habit. It's a bit like a yellow 'Danica,' but with looser foliage and a blockier habit. Developed by Van Vloten Nursery in Canada, this hardy arborvitae boasts excellent burn resistance and maintains its vibrant golden hue through the winter, making it a good alternative to boxwood. Anna’s Magic Ball® arborvitae’s compact size fits nicely in many landscape and garden roles, adding a touch of magic no matter where you plant it.
