'Hetz Midget' arborvitae is a woody, needled evergreen shrub in the cypress family (Cupressaceae). It is a cultivar of the American arborvitae. 

It is widely adaptable to a variety of soil types and is drought and alkaline-soil tolerant. It does not tolerate dry or exposed, windy sites. It grows well in full sun or partial shade. Full shade is not recommend as the foliage will thin out dramatically.

The form is more globose than conical, usually single-trunked, and it slowly reaches 3 to 4 feet tall and slightly wider in diameter. The scale-like foliage is arranged in dense, flat, layered sprays.

Its size and naturally rounded form make it ideal for a small space, foundation planting, border, low hedge, cottage, or rock garden. It can also be used as a specimen or in a container to accent a lawn, patio, or pool hardscape. It is tolerant of urban conditions. 

Genus name is the Greek name for a kind of juniper (Juniperus.)

Marylanders Plant Trees

From the Maryland Department of Natural Resources:

"We launched Marylanders Plant Trees in 2009 to encourage citizens and organizations to partner with the State to plant new trees. Today, citizens can still take advantage of our coupon program to receive $25 off the purchase of a native tree at 86 participating nurseries across the State. The State cost of $20 per coupon is funded through a settlement from a major power generator for Clean Air Act violations, in partnership with the Office of the Attorney General, and Maryland’s participating tree vendors are generously absorbing the remaining $5.

Trees must be planted in the state of Maryland to qualify for $25 off coupon.
Wholesale customers do not qualify.
