Hedging

Thuja plicata (Western Red Cedar) 90-120cm Pot Grown Hedge Plants offer dense evergreen screening, ideal for privacy hedging in cold and coastal UK climates. Delivered as 90-120cm established specimens, they adapt well to various soil types and require minimal pruning.

Key Features

  • Hardy cold-climate conifer: Remains evergreen and shapes well even in Scottish winters.
  • Low maintenance: Easier to prune than leylandii; tolerant of heavy and coastal soils.
  • Pot grown advantage: Establishes quickly after planting, higher survival rate than bare root hedging.
  • Mature height & density: Can reach 6-10m tall with dense foliage for noise reduction and screening.

FAQs

  • Is Thuja plicata good for privacy in cold climates? Yes, it is hardy and keeps dense foliage year-round.
  • How does it compare to leylandii? Thuja is less vigorous, breaks from old wood, and is easier to maintain.
  • Why choose pot grown plants? Pot grown Western Red Cedar establishes faster and is plantable year-round.
  • Expected growth after planting? Typically establishes in the first season; expect 30-60cm annual growth.
  • Ultimate hedge size? Mature hedges typically reach 6-10m with regular trimming for desired height.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
