About this Mr. Bowling Ball Arborvitae Bonsai, 13 Years Old, 14 Inches Tall (Thuja occidentalis 'Bobozam')
A 13-year-old dwarf arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis 'Bobozam', measuring 11 by 13 inches with a height of 14 inches. The variety is naturally globe-shaped, so its outline comes from the plant's own habit rather than from heavy pruning. Evergreen foliage is dense and finely divided, rich green in tone, and holds that colour year-round instead of bronzing off in cold weather. Keep it outside. Beyond sensible watering and a position where the rounded silhouette can be appreciated, this dwarf conifer asks for very little.
American Arborvitae bonsai care
This is a living American Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis). Before you buy, this is what it will ask of you:
- Indoor / outdoor
- Outdoor, in a sunny place; shade over midday in the hottest weeks
- Light
- Full sun to part shade; in full shade the foliage thins out dramatically
- Water
- Keep the root ball evenly moist; it must not dry out, and it needs free drainage
- USDA zones
- 3 to 7
- #1 cause of death
- Root rot on poorly drained, wet sites; in a pot, a mix that stays wet carries the same risk
Soil, repotting, pruning, seasonal work and the full pest and disease list are in our free American Arborvitae bonsai care guide.
