thuja hedge
A thuja hedge is one of the most reliable and attractive choices for creating a living boundary in New Zealand gardens. These hardy evergreen conifers are prized for their dense foliage, rapid growth, and natural beauty. Whether you want privacy from neighbours, shelter for your property, or a green backdrop for your garden, a thuja hedge provides year-round interest with very little maintenance. Choosing the right thuja variety ensures your hedge will thrive, offering lush greenery and valuable protection for both urban and rural landscapes.
Thuja plicata
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. The Western Red Cedar is commonly grown for timber production, but also makes for a stunning specimen in a large garden or park.

Thuja 'Green Giant'
Thuja 'Green Giant' is a smaller variety of Cedar and bears sprays of glossy, dark green foliage held on slender stems. The result is a tree with a somewhat layered appearance as it grows to 12 m tall and 3 m wide. Thuja plicata 'Green Giant' is commonly grown as a specimen, used as a screen, planted as a backdrop for smaller plants, or trimmed into a hedge. This is a low-maintenance plant that is very forgiving with excellent aesthetics.
