'Leprechaun' Western Red Cedar | Thuja standishii x plicata 'Leprechaun'

Deer Resistant! This lovely cultivar is an adorable smaller upright growing evergreen that is a delightfully cold-hardy privacy shrub to enliven your landscape on a smaller footprint!

A true dwarf, you'll love the long spires of new growth that become fluffy and dense once they fill out later in the season. You'll not sacrifice space to include a columnar evergreen into your landscape! With a spiky and deep green texture with a pointed form that are sure to make this shamrock-green little number a sure standout all growing season and beyond! You'll get great color in the fall and winter without the usual bronzing some other Arborvitae sometimes get once the cold sets in.

Leprechaun has a fantastic densely packed and compact form, plus a slower growth rate which should translate to low maintenance! Requiring almost zero pruning, less fuss and never needing to worry about this little shrub outgrowing its space! Cold hardy throughout USDA growing zones 5 through 8, Leprechaun typically grows to within 7 - 10 feet in height and a mature spread of 4 - 6 feet.

Mature Height: 7-10ft
