If you’re searching for a versatile evergreen, the thuja conifer stands out as one of the most popular choices for New Zealand gardens. With its elegant shape, rich green foliage, and hardy nature, the thuja conifer is perfect for hedging, shelterbelts, or as a striking specimen tree in your backyard. Whether you’re looking to create a structured privacy screen or simply add year-round texture to your landscape, Thujas adapt beautifully to a range of garden styles and conditions.

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 plicata, commonly known as the Western Red Cedar, is a conifer that grows into an attractive and large tree. It grows with a dense, conical shape, producing green foliage that develops distinctive bronze tones during winter as it slowly grows to about 25 m tall and 15 m wide.
