Growing Tips for Thuja occidentalis 'Cheer Drops™'
Tolerates heat and drought once established. Keep watered after pruning to minimize browning; this is also an effective strategy to minimize winter damage to foliage in cold areas.
Hedges; screening; mixed borders; foundation plantings; specimen.
Does not strictly require pruning, though it does tolerate it well. Prune in spring before new growth begins.
Adaptable in terms of pH; best growth is in moderately moist, cool, fertile soils.
