Thuja Plicata - Western Red Cedar

Thuja Plicata or Western Red Cedar is native to North America.

This is a tall attractive, very dense and busy evergreen conifer with cinnamon-red bark and aromatic bright green leaves that smell like pineapple.  

This is a most valuable tree for evergreen hedging and evergreen screening. Although slower growing than Leylandii, Thuja Plicata is still a fast growing tree which can quickly screen out any unwanted sights but can be more easily controlled than Leylandii.

Western Red Cedar is hardy. It has spreading branches and prefers a sunny or partial shady position. It grows well in any soil conditions.

Thuja attracts birds and other wildlife due to its thick dense bushy foliage.

We now stock a full size range of Thuja Plicata 'Martin' rootball plants - fabulous for evergreen screening.
