- Fast Growing Evergreen Screen - Thuja plicata, also known as Western Red Cedar, is valued for its rapid growth and dense branching. It quickly forms a tall, structured hedge, offering excellent privacy and shelter in gardens of all sizes.
- Year Round Structure & Colour - With rich, glossy green foliage that remains vibrant throughout the seasons, this conifer ensures lasting structure and greenery. Its evergreen character makes it a reliable choice for creating borders, windbreaks, or natural screening.
- Hardy & Low Maintenance - Thriving in a wide range of soils and conditions, it requires minimal upkeep once established. Regular trimming helps maintain a neat, formal appearance, while its dense foliage provides safe nesting and cover for birds and wildlife.
- Compact Height for Versatile Use – This variety typically reaches an eventual height of around between 1.5m and 6m, making it ideal for lower hedging, edging, and smaller garden spaces where a neat, manageable barrier is desired.
