Growing Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata)
- Popular evergreen conifer in the UK for tall hedging and screening, offering year-round privacy, windbreak, and noise reduction.
- Fast-growing (30-60cm per year), dense, glossy dark green foliage with a pleasant pineapple-like fragrance when crushed.
- Tolerates a wide range of conditions; hardy, shade-tolerant, and regrows well from old wood when pruned.
- Provides wildlife habitat (nesting sites and shelter for birds) and valuable durable timber.
- Best time: Autumn (preferred for root establishment) best not planted in hot weather with drying winds.
- Site: Full sun to partial or full shade; sheltered from drying winds.
- Soil: Moist but well-drained, fertile; tolerates most types (clay, loam, chalk, sand) except waterlogged or very dry.
- Preparation: Dig holes twice the width of the root spread; improve poor soil with compost.
- Spacing: For hedges, 60-75cm apart; 3 plants per metre recommended for dense hedging.
- Aftercare: Water regularly in the first 1-2 years, especially during dry spells; mulch annually; trim hedges 2-3 times a year (spring/summer) for shape.
