Thuja ‘Brabant’ Hedging – 160/180cm Root Ball

Fast-Growing Evergreen Screening with a Soft, Natural Texture

Thuja occidentalis ‘Brabant’ is a popular conifer variety prized for its dense, bushy habit and fresh green foliage. Supplied here at 160/180cm tall in root ball form, these semi-mature plants offer an instant impact—ideal for establishing privacy, shelter, and structure in both domestic gardens and larger landscapes.

A top choice for those seeking an alternative to Leylandii, ‘Brabant’ maintains a neat, upright form while being easier to manage, clip, and maintain. With consistent year-round colour, cold hardiness, and an excellent response to pruning, it is a reliable performer across the UK.

Seasonal Interest

Spring:
New growth emerges in a brighter, almost lime-green hue, adding fresh texture and volume.

Summer:
The foliage deepens to mid-green, forming a lush, full screen with a soft, feathery texture.
