thuja plant
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 occidentalis 'Smaragd' (Green Cedar)
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 (Thuja Old Gold)
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.
