View full detailsThuja hedging, also known as Arborvitae, is a popular evergreen conifer hedge chosen for its dense foliage and controlled growth habit. It provides reliable year-round screening while remaining easier to manage than faster-growing conifer hedges.
Thuja is often chosen as an alternative to Leylandii where a more manageable hedge is required. While it grows more slowly, it is far easier to maintain at a consistent height and width.
Thuja has a moderate growth rate and responds well to regular trimming. Annual or twice-yearly pruning helps maintain a tidy hedge and encourages dense growth from the base.
Thuja hedge plants are available in a range of sizes depending on the level of screening required. Correct spacing at planting is important to achieve a continuous, even hedge without overcrowding.
Begin light trimming early to help Thuja develop a dense, well-shaped hedge. Maintaining a slightly wider base helps ensure good coverage lower down.
Thuja is selected for balance — offering evergreen coverage without the rapid growth of some conifers. To explore the full range of conifer hedges, browse our Conifer Hedging collection.
