Thuja orientalis selections
Thuja orientalis, as it suggests is the "Eastern Cedar"

Thuja orientalis 'Filiformis Erecta' - An unusual plant. Yellow spring tip growth. Green in winter. Although this plant, when it is young, does not appeal to many gardeners, if placed in a very formal situation, it has great ornamental appeal. In our opinion should be planted a lot more. Seldom reaches more than 1.5 metres high x 1 metre wide in our Nursery/Garden.

Thuja plicata 'Rogersii' - Bright golden yellow becoming gold bronze in winter. We have found this plant to keep its colour in semi-shade which makes it a very useful subject for any position in the garden. It is very small and can be kept small by pruning but it is slow growing. A dense upright plant with congested foliage. 70 cm high x 40 cm wide in 10 years in our Nursery/Garden. Zone 5. |
| Cutting Grown | PB 6.5 | 45 cm high x 30 cm wide | Please enquire |
********************
Thuja plicata 'Stoneham Gold' - Is very
slow growing and should be planted much more than it is. To get
the best colour it needs full sun i.e. from 6 am to 8 pm
otherwise it does not reward you with the most wonderful bright
orange in a cold winter. Once again it does depend on the depth
of cold but in the right position this plant gives good colour in
warmer climates. 1 metre high x 60 cm wide in 10 years in our
Nursery/Garden. Zone 5.
