A compact evergreen with soft, deep green foliage and a naturally tidy pyramid that stays handsome all year
FEATURES:
- Slow-growing, compact habit that keeps its shape without constant trimming
- Dense, pyramidal form that gives you vertical structure without eating up the whole bed
- Soft-textured foliage in a dark green tone for a richer, more refined evergreen look
- Noted for very good cold hardiness and foliage that does not bronze in winter
- A space-smart option for hedges and screens, especially where you want privacy but not a wall of green
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Let this tree be your vertical punctuation mark and keep the base calm and intentional with a clean mulch ring, then layer in low, dark greens like boxwood or inkberry and finish with something soft and moving nearby like ornamental grasses, because the contrast makes the deep green foliage look even richer and the overall planting feel tailored instead of crowded.

- Hardiness Zone: 4-8
- Mature Height: 7-10' tall
- Mature Width: 4-6' wide
- Exposure: Full Sun/Part Shade

Why plant Leprechaun™ Arborvitae?
This is the evergreen for people who want the “finished landscape” look without the constant haircut schedule. This selection was patented for its slow-growing, compact habit and its soft, dark green foliage, plus impressive cold hardiness with foliage that holds color rather than bronzing in winter. It gives you that crisp pyramid shape that reads clean and architectural in every season, which means your garden still looks put together even when the perennials are asleep and you are also, emotionally, a little asleep.
How to use Leprechaun™ Arborvitae in the landscape?
Use it as a narrow evergreen accent to frame an entry, punctuate the corners of a home, or add height in a mixed bed without sacrificing walkway space, and it also shines in a tighter hedge or screen where you want privacy with a slimmer footprint and a naturally uniform, pyramidal look; plant it in full sun for the densest growth, and give it well-drained soil so it can settle in and stay strong for the long haul.
Frequently Asked Questions
This arborvitae is grown for foliage and form, not flowers. Any blooms are small and not showy, so the evergreen structure is the main attraction.
Plant in well-drained soil, water deeply and consistently through the first growing season, and keep a mulch ring to protect roots and conserve moisture. Full sun helps it stay dense and nicely shaped.
Prune lightly in late winter to early spring to tidy the outline. Avoid heavy cutting since it naturally keeps a tight, pyramidal habit and grows slowly.
