Thuja arborvitae is a popular evergreen conifer, beloved in New Zealand gardens for its versatility, hardiness, and elegant appearance. This lush, vibrant plant—often simply called arborvitae—offers gardeners a reliable option for privacy hedges, windbreaks, and formal landscape designs. Whether you’re looking for a classic, upright screening plant or an attractive specimen for your outdoor space, thuja arborvitae is an excellent choice for creating year-round interest.

Thuja 'Smaragd', commonly known as the Green or Emerald Cedar, grows with a narrow, dense, and columnar habit. The foliage is rich green, sometimes tinged bronze in winter, and produced with a somewhat layered effect to give the plant an interesting texture. It typically grows to 7 m in height and 2.5 m in width in full sun. Thuja 'Smaragd' 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.

Thuja plicata Old Gold features foliage that is rich yellow and develops bronze tones in winter. It is held in clusters which produces a layered appearance and an interesting texture as it grows to 5 m tall and 3 m wide. Thuja Old Gold is commonly included in large gardens as a specimen, or used for shelter or screening.
