Western Red Cedar Hedging
A fast-growing evergreen conifer with dense, rich green foliage, ideal for creating tall, attractive privacy screens and substantial garden boundaries.
Thuja plicata ‘Atrovirens’, commonly known as Western Red Cedar, is an excellent choice where year-round privacy and relatively rapid establishment are required. Its dense sprays of glossy green foliage create an effective evergreen screen with a softer, more refined appearance than many vigorous conifer hedges.
Western Red Cedar responds well to regular trimming and can be maintained as a neat formal hedge or developed into a taller screen. Its foliage also has a distinctive aromatic scent when crushed or clipped.
Why Choose Thuja plicata ‘Atrovirens’?
Evergreen for year-round screening
Fast growing and quick to establish
Dense foliage provides excellent privacy
Attractive rich green foliage
Particularly suitable for taller hedges
Responds well to regular trimming
More refined appearance than many fast-growing conifers
Excellent for substantial boundaries and screening
Why Buy Rootballed Western Red Cedar?
Rootballed Thuja plicata ‘Atrovirens’ is field-grown and lifted with a substantial ball of soil retained around its root system.
This allows larger, established plants to be supplied economically and is particularly useful for projects where greater initial height and more immediate privacy are required.
Available Sizes
Rootballed Western Red Cedar is available in a range of heights, subject to seasonal nursery availability.
Larger specimens provide substantial immediate screening, while smaller plants can offer a more economical solution for longer hedge runs.
How Many Plants Do I Need?
Plant spacing depends upon the size selected and how quickly you want your hedge to develop into a dense, continuous screen.
Our hedging guide will help you calculate the appropriate number of plants for the length of your proposed hedge.
