Hi Dax,

It's 'Trompenburg' instead of 'Trompenberg'.
This is the one at my collection.
Thuja occidentalis 'Trompenburg'

Thuja occidentalis 'Hetz Midget' - worth growing??

Holly, here's a photo of my Hetz, which I bought from Lowe's last fall. I paid $3-bucks for mine. The color is a deep green and beautiful. My fenced side-yard is small, so that's why I chose it. Also, the needles are extra soft and will be safe for my tiny dogs.....so they won't accidentally get their eyes scratched if they run into it. Tee-hee. (The other reason I bought it.) I think they're adorable little evergreens. Slow growers I've heard. There is only 1/8" growth on mine so far this Spring. I've read it needs to be watered a lot it's first year. Probably true. We've had tons of rain (breaking records) the past few weeks, and the new growth only began after the first downpour. Bottom line, I recommend this little guy. Very cute!

Thuja Emerald Green occidentalis arborvitae dying?
Q
Comments (4)
lol /... the heat of summer has hit ... this is common ... i mean.. thats when the problems show ... dig a 3 to 6 inch hole.. near the root mass planted.. AND FIND OUT if its wet or dry not only in the soil around.. but in the root mass planted... i suspect you are guessing at a watering protocol ... once you find out ... then adjust accordingly ... soaker hose is carp ... but it is usually a problem at the far end of the run ... in this case ... a middle one ... i suspect the digging of the large transplant cut off too many roots .. not that it will die.. its just struggling more than the others ... but it might die ... perfect watering.. and the rest should live.. then when we are sure the brown part is dead.. cut it out down low ... it will fill in.. but it might take a few years ... if you have a warranty... just replace it in fall when the temps drop ... nobody plants conifers in august ... in most areas of the country ... ken

Advice in planting Occidentalis 'Hetz Wintergreen' or 'Degroots Spire'
Q
Comments (22)
Thank you everyone for the wonderful replies! RE: Dax. Thanks for the info on the spacing and size of Hetz Wintergreen. With the fast growth rate of the Hetz Wintergreen, it seems a 1 gallon pot would surpass my existing Smaragd's pretty quick. This is what I was hoping for. RE: Cearbhail. Haha, yes the happenings in my kitchen are strictly confidential! I appreciate your thoughts around keeping the existing Smaragds or even planting some between the existing plants. I'm just worried that they are such slow growers that I won't get the privacy I am hoping for over the next 10 years. I love the look of those Spartan Junipers. I will do a bit more research on them. Are yours in full sun? RE: Brothergarm. Any trouble cutting the multiple leaders off the Degroots? I would love to have a number of single leader Degroots at the side of my house but I wouldn't want to risk killing them by hacking off leaders. The bylaw here is 6' fence and we have a 6' fence. The extra foot of lattice would have been really nice. RE: Gardengal. Those European Hornbeams look great and I might consider them for my front yard. For now I'm hoping for a conifer backdrop to the backyard.

I really like the structure and texture of the foliage on Thuja occidentalis "Shirrmann". And I bet that plant isn't available here in the State? Appears that it may be multi-stemmed though - yes or no? And is the plant in the left background the same?

ClÃ©ment took these photo's at the Horstmann Nursery in Germany, except for the one with the 'Trompenburg', it's taken in his own garden.
Horstmann's garden is much to dark with all the big trees in the neighbourhood in which you can see to the quality of the plants, specially the dwarf one's.

Mr. Schirrmann is a good friend of my since I met him during the Dutch Conifer Sociey trip to northern Germany and Scandinavia.
He found this 'Schirrmann' as a seedling which is normaly seen a one stemmed tree.

I love, love, love the 'Santa Anna' - which means they probably aren't available in the U.S. Appears to be relatively tall and narrow - ??

I agree with Marshall, I really really like that Shirrmann. That's a nice plant.

Very nice plant indeed ClÃ©ment, but as you could have seen in the "Thuja occidentalis cv. Part " I mentioned that it must be written as 'Brobeck's Tower'.
This seedlingselection from 'Spiralis' is found by Anders Brobeck from Sweden.

'Sphaerica'

Selected in the U.K.

'Watnong Dwarf'

Selected by the Watnong Nursery, U.S.

'Golden Tuffet'

An Iseli selection, found as a mutation on a 'Rheingold'.
It seems to be more populair in Europe then in the U.S. as I don't see it posted by anyone else here.

'Vervaenean's Gold'

This is a yellow mutation found on a 'Vervaeneana'.
The 'Vervaeneana' was selected by M. Verveane from Belgium.
In front of the 'Vervaenean's Gold' there's a 'Malonyana' which is one of the best column forms, it's found as a seedlingselection in the Czech Republic.

'Spotty Smaragd'

Found by myself as a white variegated mutation on a 'Smaragd'.
Simular mutations were found like the 'Starstruck' which do have the same characteristics.

'Strasko W.B.'

I received this one from Jan Slama from the Czech Republic during the Poland-Czech Replublic Tour with the British- and Dutch Conifer Societies in 2008.
