🌲 Buy Western Red Cedar Trees (Thuja plicata) – Evergreen Saplings for Hedging or Ornamental Planting
Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata) is a highly versatile evergreen tree known for its rich green foliage and fresh, aromatic scent. Popular for use as both a formal hedge and a standalone ornamental tree, it offers an attractive alternative to Leylandii with a slightly slower growth rate and a softer, fuller appearance.
Originally native to the northwestern USA, this conifer adapts well to a variety of conditions and thrives across much of the UK. Whether you're creating a dense privacy screen or adding structure to your landscape, Western Red Cedar delivers year-round colour and coverage with minimal fuss.
Our Thuja plicata saplings are currently 15–30cm tall and can be planted throughout the year.
Key Features:
Beautiful evergreen foliage – perfect for hedging or standalone trees
Slower-growing alternative to Leylandii – more manageable in gardens
Thrives in most soils – prefers well-drained locations
Tolerates sun, shade, dry or damp ground – very adaptable
Mature trees give off a pleasant cedar scent
Native to the Pacific Northwest USA
Supplied as 15–30cm saplings – ready for year-round planting
