Planted a Giant Arborvitae yesterday

submitted by Trope to Gardening 23 hoursMay 11, 2025 10:21:17 ago (+13/-0)     (Gardening)

Big ass Thulja Plicata, also known as Western Red Cedar. Just planted the first one along my property border. Going to plant a few more and establish some privacy along the yard since we live in town.

I really like evergreens. Any advice, knowledge, or wisdom for making sure it stays healthy?

Might plant a few upright yew along the side of the house that sees a fair amount of shade.

Western Red Cedars have a typical overall height between 100'-150' (30-46 m)

This wouldn't be my choice for screening, but more because the "leaves" they drop make a yard unpleasant. Maybe they can be cut and trimmed into a hedge.
