'Danica' arborvitae is a far cry from its cousins that are used as massive privacy screens and barriers, though it has the same bright green, year-round foliage. This variety is a true dwarf, growing slowly into naturally rounded globes of one to two feet tall and wide. A sunny location will keep 'Danica' dense and compact, although it will tolerate some shade, especially in the late afternoon. Its slow growth and naturally small size make this specimen well-suited to small gardens that need a spot of fresh greenery year-round, but space is limited. It is also tolerant of wet, boggy areas, and does well along streams or ponds.
