Planted a Giant Arborvitae yesterday

submitted by Trope to Gardening 1 dayMay 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.

I like to dry it and mix it in 50/50 with this rich topsoil I have hidden that sits underneath leaves that haven't been raked in a decade. It's how we did it forever, but now people think they need to buy something off a shelf.

Sprinkle that stuff around the soil of any plant and it'll be fine.
