Shrubs and conifers
Thuya: maintenance tips
A narrow hardy conifer often used for hedges.


Common name: Cedar
Exposure
Prefers full exposure to sun. Tolerates half-shade, but foliage will be less dense.
Watering
Water abundantly at planting. In autumn, if rainfall is low, water at the base of the trees to prevent drying out over winter.
Planting
Plant in rich, well-drained soil.
Fertilization
Fertilize with a granular conifer fertilizer at planting. Repeat fertilization every spring. Avoid fertilizing after mid-June, as this may interfere with the maturation period.
Availability may vary by store.
