Thuja Hedging 5ft (150cm) in a 15lt pot

These Thuja hedging plants are an economic option to planting a hedge without costing a fortune. Thuja creates a fine formal hedge and its olive green foliage, when crushed, gives off a pleasant aromatic scent. It is favoured by many people as a good alternative to leylandii. These plants are all sold as 5ft in height (150cm)

Thuja are a relatively fast growing evergreen (not as fast as leylandii) and these plants will put on 1-1.5ft (30-45cm) each year if left untrimmed and so it will not take too many years for these plants to produce a Thuja hedge at the required height to give eye level privacy.

Thuja plicata is also known as Western Red Cedar and is a common hedging plant used across the country for attractive evergreen hedges..

Once the plants have reached their desired height, we recommend that it be trimmed at that height which will both encourage side growth and restrict upward growth to a manageable amount. A Thuja hedge needs to be trimmed annually in the spring or autumn.

Any Thuja hedging plants should be planted 2ft (60cm) apart and if they are planted during the drier summer months, they must be properly watered in their first year to ensure that they establish properly. This is best done using leaky hose which is cheap, easy to install and very effective. The product photograph shows the Thuya hedging plants spaced at 2ft (60cm) spacings to give you an indication of immediate effect after planting. This spacing will give each tree enough space to grow to form a good hedge height in the long run.
