With their low-maintenance nature and reliable growth, Cupressaceae thuja plants offer both aesthetic and practical benefits for Kiwi gardeners.

Thuja occidentalis 'Pyramidalis' is an elegant conifer that grows with a narrow and dense, pyramidal shape. The foliage is dark green, sometimes tinged bronze in winter, and produced with a somewhat layered effect to give the plant an interesting texture. It grows to 4 m in height and 1.5 m in width, and can be trimmed as necessary. Thuja 'Pyramidalis' is commonly included in a mixed planting, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, grown for shelter or screening, used for hedging, or planted to line an entranceway or avenue. It is excellent for providing an architectural element and suits being planted against a large, bland wall.
