Whether you plant Thuja as a hedge or as a solitaire in the garden - the location plays an important role. Only in the right place will the tree of life thrive and grow quickly. How to find a good location for the thuja.
The Thuja likes it sunny
The right location for the Thuja
- Sunny to semi-shady
- not in the shade
- somewhat protected from the wind
- not too acidic soil
- away from roads with road salt
If the thuja hedge is directly in the shade, it will not grow quickly and certainly not become opaque.
Keep your distance from roads and paths that are covered with road salt in winter. The salt does not get the thuja and leads to brown spots.
Because thuja is a shallow root, it poses no threat to underground utility lines and cables.
tips
Thuja is poisonous in all parts of the plant. Children and pets and grazing animals are particularly at risk. Therefore, look for a location where there is no danger from the tree of life.
