Anna’s Magic Ball Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis 'Anna van Vloten', is a fantastic dwarf evergreen shrub that provides year round interest and brilliant color to the garden. The unique bright yellow foliage on this arborvitae can fit into any space, and is even tolerant of some shade, which most arborvitaes cannot handle.

This bush is native to North America, and requires minimal maintenance and care. Since the shrub is evergreen, it does not lose its foliage in the winter and consistently puts on a show no matter the season. These shrubs are very winter hardy due to the fact that they were developed in Canada. These also grow into a mounded habit without any pruning.

Grow these miniature shrubs in garden planters or small spaces. These are also great for forming low growing garden borders as a unique hedge.

Anna’s Magic Ball Arborvitae Care

Plant these bushes in deep well drained soil. Most arborvitae are very easy to care for, and the Anna’s Magic Ball is no different. These can be grown in planters, or small spaces. And can tolerate some shade throughout the day.

Pruning Anna’s Magic Ball Arborvitae is not necessary. These plants only get to be about 15 inches tall and wide. If you must trim, do so in early summer.

Anna’s Magic Ball Arborvitae Spacing

To grow these into a short hedge, plant 10 inches apart, center on center. It makes for a unique low mounded garden border, great along paths and walkways. Otherwise, you plant around 15 inches apart, center on center, for a more traditional look.

This plant was also featured in an article on Redfin about improving curb appeal by growing this plant in a garden planter!

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
