Thuja occidentalis Spiralis is a tall, narrow-conical tree. The height of a 10-year-old plant is 3 m, the maximum height is 15 m. The shoots are twisting, spiral-shaped. The needles are dark green. It grows faster than other varieties of thuja.
The original tall tree from afar is very reminiscent of a heat-loving cypress. For its high growth rate, neat columnar shape and unpretentiousness, thuja occidentalis Spiralis has won the love of European gardeners and landscape designers. Russian lovers of garden art are not far behind.
Thuja occidentalis Spiralis prefers a sunny location or, at worst, partial shade. In the shade, the crown becomes loose and sloppy. It tolerates short-term drought and stagnant waterlogging well. However, it grows and develops best on moist, fertile, well-permeable soils. Thuja Spiralis takes a long time to take root, like all evergreen trees and shrubs. During this period, the plant needs regular watering and sprinkling, shelter from the spring sun, and mulching of the trunk circle. These simple agricultural techniques will help the thuja to adapt better and faster to a new place. Subsequently, the plant will independently obtain nutrition and moisture at any time of the year. Not afraid of pruning.
Thuja occidentalis Spiralis is a very valuable ornamental plant that is used as a solitaire and to create contrasting panoramic compositions of trees and shrubs with different architecture. Thuja occidentalis Spiralis is perfect for planting in hedges. To create a real green wall, plants should be planted at a distance of 0.6 m. The tops should be trimmed to the same height. A dense hedge can replace any fence and become a natural protection from prying eyes. The main advantage of this variety is very fast growth.
