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 '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 '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.
