🌿 Description
A dense evergreen conifer with attractive scale-like foliage, available in pyramid and ball shapes. Its year-round green appearance and clean forms make it excellent for structured and formal gardens.
🏡 In the Garden
Ideal for entrances, pathways, borders, terraces, and focal points. Pyramid forms add height and strong vertical structure, while ball forms create neat, rounded accents. They also work beautifully in pairs or repeated along a garden edge.
☀️ Light
Prefers full sun to partial shade. Good light helps maintain dense, healthy growth.
🌡️ Climate & Elevation
Suitable for most Lebanese regions, from sea level to around 1,500 m and higher, depending on the species or cultivar and local exposure. Many Thuja cultivars are highly cold hardy, tolerating temperatures well below freezing.
💧 Watering
Water regularly while establishing. Once established, water during prolonged hot and dry periods. Good drainage is important.
✂️ Maintenance
Light, regular pruning can maintain the pyramid or ball shape and keep the plant dense and neat. Avoid cutting deeply into old, bare wood.
💡 Plant Express Tip
Combine pyramids and balls to create contrast between vertical and rounded forms, especially around entrances, pathways, and formal garden areas.
