In 2020 I planted a small Mr. Bowling Ball Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis "Bobazam') at the far end of the stroll garden (near the street).

I was hoping that this plant might act as a anchor to the much larger Cyprus plant near the entrance of the Stroll Garden that was planted back in 2014.

Unfortunately, these two plants are not the same and grow at a much different rate. In fact, the Bowling Ball Arborvitae was growing so slow that over the last five years it hadn't changed much.
I had been thinking about switching it. Luckily I came across a much larger, and more appropriately sized, version.

So, out with the old and small, and in with the new and large.

If this plant grows at a similar rate I will be happy. The size is great and there is still some room for growth with the large Snow-mound Spirea nearby.
