All you need to know about Thuja occidentalis Arborvitae

[@mattieice2988]

Hands down, Best Video about your Thuja accidentalis. aka American Pillar Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Our Plants never looked better, and dont forget to wrap them if you have deer around your area, they will completely eat at least 5 feet of your Arborvitae tree, have a Blessed day, your friend Matt :)

This is the best in depth video I've seen about these trees. I'm in Northeastern Vermont and just planted 15 beautiful Canada-grown Green Giants. Now I know exactly how to care for them.

[@313girl5]

How are your Tuja's doing one year in? Can you tell me how large they were when you planted them, and how much they have grown in the one year?

[@ginacirelli1581]

@@313girl5 They were about 4 feet when I put them in, and they've all grown at least a foot. Some of them are over 6 feet tall now! They did have a few brown leaves right after I put them in, probably due to stress, but they are all green now.

Very informative video. Probably the best on here. Everyone should have to watch this video as a condition to purchasing a Thuja😃. I have planted a total of 18 over the course of 3 years. 100% success rate so far. I still haven’t stopped researching information on them.

I've had a terrible time trying to replace several arborvitae that were destroyed by a trailer fire almost 27 years ago. Been replacing the dead ones with 5 footers, they live for 4 years on average then die off. I'm going to try one more time this year and will be removing the burlap as much as possible to see if that helps. All the others I planted in 1991 have thrived and are around 18 feet tall.

Thank you so much for this super detailed video. I just ordered online 9 Thuja Smaragd (120-140cm ). We are aiming a height of around 180cm. So i am not cutting the tip until that reaches that height. However for the sides, i can only start pruning it after 2years once Thuja are stable or it’s okay to start pruning as soon as the next spring. Appreciate your advice.-Netherlands.

Hello ! I have sown in my garden a row of thuja occidentalis smaragd at a span of 1 meter between them. I do not wish to shear them at all and . I wonder if it is true that the width of a fully grown thuja smaragd is 1.5 meters would then my thujas grow well without to get brown when come fully near each other ?

Could you please talk about leaders when you want your arbs to grow conically?

[@richtomlinson7090]

I believe you have to choose the best for your application and try to look and feel through the arborvitae that you are interested in and if there's too many competing stems originating from the base, watch out, but if there are only smaller side branches and a lonely single strong leader, pick that one. If you really have to, you can trim and shape the plant anyway you want, but I personally prefer the very vertical lumber shape if at all possible. Who knows, in 30 to hundreds of years from now it could be seeing a saw mill, even if I don't get to use it as lumber or shingle material.

[@babroos]

Hello - thank you so much for this wonderful video. I wonder if you can help me. I have 3 large Thujas that were planted 2 years ago in September, when they were already over 3m tall. We live near Chicago (zone 5b, average temperatures ranging from -11C to +30C). They have grown to about 4m tall now, and I actually want them to stay around 3m. Would it be ok to cut 1m off their top, or would that be too much stress? I also didn’t know how to prune them and I didn’t want to stress them for the first couple of years so I left them alone, and they are now looking scraggly, with not much green in the middle. This summer they do have many cones. How much should I prune the sides? Maybe 10cm? Most of the lower-middle branches are about 120cm long from the trunk, with green growth on the tips, about 30cm. I would greatly appreciate any advice so I can help my Thujas look better.
