I've gone and livened things up with a charming mix of 5 Fluffy Arborvitae. These charming conifers are the perfect size for creating a playful border, and their colorful foliage is like a burst of sunshine in the garden. Whether you're admiring them up close or soaking in their beauty from afar, they're guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Trust me, these little trees are the secret to adding instant magic to your outdoor space!

The two plants were well packaged and arrived in excellent condition. Fluffy is a beautiful bright golden green with wonderfully soft, fragrant foliage. Since they're slated for a large area that will be completely re-done next spring, they were planted in an empty raised bed in the vegetable garden as a temporary nursery bed, joining the 5 North Pole arbs that arrived and were planted the day before Thanksgiving. In my zone 5 (winter temps down to minus 20 with consistently punishing prairie winds) I've never even considered planting in November and December, but so far, so good. They're well mulched with a layer of shredded leaves, topped with a layer of compost, then another layer of shredded leaves and were watered deeply until the ground froze. They all look as beautiful as the day they arrived. Because of our winds I usually strive for plants rated for zone 4 or colder, so we'll know by spring if Fluffy is truly a toughie.

The additional mulch is a great idea to help insulate due to cold winds. These may also be covered with burlap during this time if there are no manmade or natural barriers to the winds.

Since receiving the 2 Fluffy's, they have been doing well with the chilly winter mornings here in Central California. I am so excited!
