Additional Information

Thuja occidentalis ‘Bobozam’ grows to a height of 2 to 3 feet, with a similar spread.  It is recommended for USDA climate zones 3 to 7.  It generally does best in full sun, but can also do well with some afternoon shade in warmer climates.  Mr. Bowling Ball tends to do best in well drained soils with average amounts of moisture.  It is not known to have any serious disease or insect issues.  If in an exposed area, it can experience some foliage burn in the winter time.
