Northern white-cedar "Candy Stripe"
Swamp Cedar "Candy Stripe" - Thuja occidentalis.
Description: contains 5 species growing in North America and East Asia.
Monoecious, evergreen trees or shrubs with a dense crown.
Reproduce by seeds and vegetatively. Seeds ripen in the fall of the year of flowering. When sowing in spring, the seeds are stratified for a month or soaked for 12 hours in water, or kept in wet sand until they hatch.
Garden forms of thuja are propagated only vegetatively - by lignified and green cuttings, since with seed propagation the yield of garden forms is very insignificant. Green cuttings are taken with a heel from young, well-developed plants.
Thuja tolerates transplantation well, especially in spring. They are perfectly trimmed and are often used to create architectural forms. High gas resistance allows them to be used in landscaping cities and industrial facilities. In landscaping, they are used in group and single plantings, when creating alleys, living walls and hedges.
With their dense branching and thick foliage, thujas stand out sharply among the trees of our flora and are often perceived as plants alien to it. Overloading the landscape with thuja plants gives it a gloomy shade.
Most often, 2 types of thuja are used in landscape gardening. In the conditions of Estonia and further north, only the White Cedar (Thuja occidentalis L.) is resistant to cultivation.
