The thuja plant is a highly sought-after evergreen conifer that brings year-round structure, privacy, and beauty to New Zealand gardens. Known for its lush, aromatic foliage and neat, conical growth habit, a thuja plant is an ideal choice for hedging, screening, or creating striking specimen features in your outdoor space. With its easy-care nature and fast growth, thuja adapts well to various soil types and climate conditions found across Aotearoa, making it a reliable and elegant addition to both modern and traditional landscapes.

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' 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.
