Thuja plicata – Western red cedar tree 1.75-2m tall

Thuja plicata is a large, evergreen tree with a narrowly pyramidal habit and a reddish-brown, ridged bark. It has flattened sprays of aromatic, scale-like, dark-green leaves that are born on spreading branches and small, egg-shaped, brown cones that are approximately 1.3cm in length. This tough, hardy tree will reach a mature height of 15-20m, growing in sheltered or exposed positions, in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil (avoid poor drainage and waterlogged areas). Often clipped to keep to a manageable height, the fast-growing, Western red cedar is a popular choice for a specimen, screen, hedge, or windbreak in larger gardens.
