Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' 24W18 Arb F2-
Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' 24W18 Arb F2- (Pierskalla of Bad Berka, Germany 1950s) Dwarf Eastern Arborvitae Arb, Size at 10 years: 1.5x1ft., feathery gray-green, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed F2 for 10.6 YEARS (6). Planted in 2013.
American Conifer Society: Thuja occidentalis 'Teddy' is a dwarf, flattened-globose selection of Eastern arborvitae with dense, delicate, thin branches and feathery, juvenile, green-gray foliage. After 10 years a mature plant will measure 24 inches (60 cm) wide and 12 inches (30 cm) tall, an annual growth rate of around 2 inches (5 cm). Typical of this species, 'Teddy' is a very hardy plant. Please note that the thin, pliable branches tend to flop over in parts of the country where snow and ice are common in winter. It is a good choice for rock gardens and troughs, and can also be used as a substitute for a Boxwood hedge.
This cultivar originated as a seedling selected in the 1950s by H. Pierskalla of Bad Berka, Germany. Thuja occidentalis 'Kobold' was the seed parent.
