Thuja plicata 'Little Boy'
Thuja 'Little Boy' is a compact evergreen conifer with a naturally neat, upright rounded habit, making it an excellent choice for smaller gardens and container displays. The attractive yellow-green foliage provides year-round structure and colour, creating a fresh and vibrant presence in the garden. As temperatures cool, the foliage develops rich orange-bronze tones, adding valuable winter interest while maintaining its dense, tidy form. Its compact growth and naturally symmetrical shape make it a useful alternative to box (Buxus), particularly in modern gardens, formal planting schemes and low-maintenance landscapes.
Easy to grow and versatile, 'Little Boy' performs well in borders, containers and feature plantings. Its moderate growth rate allows it to establish quickly while remaining manageable, making it ideal for gardeners seeking evergreen structure without excessive maintenance.
