What zone is Sun Button Globe Arborvitae hardy in?

Sun Button™ Globe Arborvitae is hardy in USDA zones 4-8. Light: full sun to part shade.

When should I prune Sun Button Globe Arborvitae?

Arborvitae rarely needs pruning. If you want to shape it, lightly shear the outer growth in late spring or early summer. Don't cut back into bare interior wood, because it won't regrow.

Why is my Sun Button Globe Arborvitae turning brown?

Some browning of the inner foliage each fall is normal. Widespread browning is usually caused by drought or winter burn. Water deeply until the ground freezes, especially in the first two years, and keep a layer of mulch over the roots.
