Thuja is not just a beautiful and unpretentious tree.
It is gaining popularity among gardeners and private home owners due to its characteristics and appearance.
Together with the expert of the online publication TUT NOVOSTI, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , we figure out how thuja helps in the area.
5 reasons to plant a thuja
Firstly, thuja, unlike other trees, is unpretentious. It will adapt to any soil you plant it in. In addition, it does not matter whether you plant it in the shade or in the sun, and the tree can withstand cold down to -35 degrees.
Secondly, the plant requires virtually no maintenance, and adult trees do not even need any feeding.
Thirdly, the variety of thuja species will allow you to improve the area. And trees planted in a row can, if desired, play the role of a hedge.
Fourthly, thuja grows very slowly and can reach a height of 20 meters!
Fifthly, it does not require constant pruning, like fruit trees: it is enough to cut off the top of the plant.
