Looking for a tree that is easy to care for and adds beauty to your garden or landscape? Then you should consider Platycladus orientalis 'Compacta', also known as Dwarf Oriental Arborvitae. This coniferous tree is a distinctive genus of evergreen tree that is native to northern China and Korea. It has bright green scale-like leaves that are darker on older trees, 1" cones, and many cultivated varieties that are often shrubby, with tiered branches. As it grows, it becomes more open with age, making it ideal for hedges or as a specimen tree. The trees are especially popular in the southern United States, where they are widely used for landscaping. The common name 'arborvitae' comes from Latin, meaning 'tree of life'. Platycladus orientalis is associated with long life and vitality in Buddhist thought in China, where it is used in Buddhist temples for construction work and chipped for incense burning. Platycladus orientalis 'Compacta' is easy to care for and thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. It can grow up to 8-12 ft tall and 1.5 ft in trunk diameter, making it ideal for smaller gardens or urban landscapes. Add this beautiful tree to your garden or landscape and enjoy its unique beauty and vitality for years to come.
