(Thuja) Tater Tot® Arborvitae is a compact evergreen that packs a lot of charm into a small, tidy package. This dwarf Thuja occidentalis forms a naturally rounded mound of soft, fan-like green foliage that keeps its color beautifully year-round. Reaching only about 2-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide, it’s the perfect choice for small gardens, borders, containers, and foundation plantings where space is limited.
Hardy in zones 3–8, Tater Tot® thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Once established, it’s quite low-maintenance—no pruning required to keep its adorable globe shape. It’s deer-resistant and offers four-season appeal, providing structure and lush greenery even through harsh northern winters.
Use Tater Tot® as an easy accent near entryways, in mixed containers, or to edge pathways and patios. Its naturally dense habit also makes it a great low hedge or filler in modern landscapes. Whether you’re dressing up a small urban garden or adding soft texture to a mixed bed, Tater Tot® is a dependable, easy-care evergreen that always looks neat and polished. A PROVEN WINNERS® COLORCHOICE® Shrub.

Pam –
I ordered 8 Tater Tots and they were packed & received in such excellent condition that I ordered 8 more. Garden Crossings will now be my go-to online garden center (and I have ordered from many well-known online garden centers over several years)!
