Whether you plant thuja as a hedge or grow it as a solitary plant 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.
Which location is best for a thuja?
An ideal location for the Thuja offers sunny to partially shaded conditions, some protection from the wind, soil that is not too acidic and distance from roads contaminated with road s alt. Direct shade or road s alt can inhibit growth and cause brown spots.
The right location for the Thuja
- Sunny to partially shaded
- not in the shade
- somewhat sheltered from the wind
- not too acidic soil
- removed from streets with road s alt
If the thuja hedge is in direct shade, it will not grow quickly and will certainly not become opaque.
Keep away from roads and paths that are sprinkled with road s alt in winter. The thuja doesn't get the s alt and leads to brown spots.
Since Thuja has shallow roots, it poses no danger to underground supply lines and cables.
Tip
Thuja is poisonous in all parts of the plant. Children and domestic and grazing animals are particularly at risk. Therefore, look for a location where the tree of life poses no danger.
