Thuja plicata Specimen Bonsai

Description

Thuja plicata, or Western Red Cedar, is a hardy conifer that has beautifully lush, mid-green foliage with a slightly fruity fragrance. If allowed to grow naturally, it forms a tall, upright tree, conical in shape, with branches that gracefully arch in a slightly drooping fashion. This specimen, however, has been clipped and pruned over time to form this statement piece, which has multiple clipped balls or clouds that emerge from the main central trunk, reaching an overall height of 250-275cm. The foliage can often turn to a rustic bronze during the colder winter months, before the bright green new foliage starts to emerge the following spring. This colour change can make for some beautiful seasonal interest.

A real feature piece that would look great as a stand alone focal point in the garden. It is held on our Nursery Park with many other mature specimens in a range of styles and varieties. Please don’t hesitate to contact for further information on any of our stock.
