If you're looking for a no-fuss hedge option, then 'Thuja' is the plant for you! Thuja Occidentalis "Smaragh" (American Arborvitae).
A very upright shrub / small tree with a naturally fastigiate form, 'Thuja’ makes an easy-care hedge row when planted closely together in a neat little row.
It has a very stately appearance, making it ideal for the formal, classic garden look and is ideal for enhancing an Italian or Mediterranean garden theme.
It can be used as a focal point plant, in pairs to flank paths and entries, or use a little trio to punctuate and add structure to massed groupings of lower plants. Classic floriferous underplantings include clipped star jasmine, gardenia, or carpet roses. It also looks amazing in a sea of grassy plants.
