Reviews for "The Perfect Dwarf Evergreen: Introducing Magic Ball Arborvitae"
1. John - 1 star
I was really disappointed with the Magic ball arborvitae. I followed all the instructions and gave it proper care, but it just didn't thrive like I had hoped. The leaves started turning brown and shedding within a few weeks of planting, and despite my efforts to revive it, it eventually died. I have had success with other arborvitae varieties in the past, but this one was a complete letdown.
2. Sarah - 2 stars
I purchased the Magic ball arborvitae as a decorative addition to my garden, but it didn't live up to its name. The plant had a strange shape, and no matter how much I trimmed and shaped it, it always looked odd. Additionally, it seemed to attract pests and required constant pest control measures, which was quite frustrating. I ended up replacing it with a different plant that was much easier to care for and more visually appealing.

I wasn't impressed with the Magic ball arborvitae. Despite diligently watering and fertilizing it, the plant just didn't seem to grow or fill out as expected. It remained sparse and scraggly, lacking the lushness that I had seen in pictures. I tried adjusting the growing conditions, but nothing seemed to make a difference. In the end, I decided to remove it from my garden and replace it with a different type of evergreen that had better growth and appearance.

While the Magic ball arborvitae had a unique shape and initially added a touch of charm to my garden, it didn't last long. After a few months, the plant started to brown and develop bare patches. Despite my best efforts to save it, including adjusting watering and providing extra care, it continued to decline. I appreciate the idea of a compact, rounded arborvitae, but this variety didn't meet my expectations in terms of durability and longevity.

I had high hopes for the Magic ball arborvitae, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to its promises. The plant never achieved the rounded shape that was advertised, instead growing more tall and lanky. The overall appearance was unimpressive and didn't add the desired aesthetic appeal to my garden. I would not recommend this variety for anyone looking for a compact, well-formed arborvitae.
