Thuja occidentalis Holmstrup Details

Thuja occidentalis Holmstrup is an interesting conifer grown for both its form and foliage. The foliage is rich green, sometimes tinged bronze in winter. It is produced with a layered effect which provides interesting texture to this plant. The leaves themselves are tiny and aromatic. It grows with a narrow, dense, columnar habit to about 3 m tall and 2 m wide. Best results with this conifer are achieved when grown in full sun or partial shade on a sheltered, well-drained site. It is tolerant of frosts, coastal environments, and short periods of dry. Thuja Holmstrup is commonly included in mixed plantings, used as a backdrop for smaller plants, used for shelter, screening, and hedging, or used to line an entranceway or avenue. It is great for providing architectural effect.
