Thuja plicata (Western Red Cedar) 210-240cm | 6’11”-7’10” | Rootballed

Thuja plicata (Western Red Cedar) hedging plants.

These are rootballed plants that are dug from the field with a ball of soil around the roots. They are wrapped in hessian and can be planted as they are.  Just dig a hole approximately 50cm square by 30cm deep. Break up the soil in the bottom of the hole with a spade so that the roots of the plant can get into the soil easily and so any excess water can drain. We recommend putting some of our 12-14 month controlled-release feed in the bottom of the hole and mixing it with the soil. This will ensure the plants have all the nutrients they need for the first year.

Delivery within 1-5 working days, please choose your delivery date during the checkout process. We ship these Western Red Cedar on pallets using a courier so we can deliver to most parts of the UK (excluding Northern Ireland) including the Isle of Wight, Isle of Man and Scottish Islands. We can also ship to the Channel Islands.

We recommend planting between 60 and 100cm apart (2-3ft) depending how quick you want the plants to fill in and form a dense screen. Plant at 60cm (2ft) apart if you want a quick screen or 100cm (3ft) apart if you are willing to wait a bit longer for the hedge to form. A good compromise is 75cm (2’6″) apart. You can use our Hedge Spacing Calculator to work out how many you need.

Please note: we measure height from the top of the rootball to the top of the plant. Heights quoted will be the height of the plants on delivery. The eventual height of the hedge will depend on pruning.

Prices are per plant and include VAT but not delivery. For delivery charges, see our Delivery page or add the plants to your basket and the delivery charge will be calculated as you go through the checkout process.
