About this seed

Why gardeners choose this variety

Oriental arborvitae has long been associated with East Asian gardens and planted landscapes. Now generally known as Platycladus orientalis, it was formerly placed in Thuja, a change that explains why older gardening books may use a different botanical name. Its flattened sprays of evergreen foliage provide a distinctive architectural texture.

A seedling can be developed as a conifer specimen, a training subject or part of a suitable screen. Observe the upright branch arrangement and scale-like foliage as the plant grows, allowing its individual form to emerge. Seed-raised plants should not be expected to match a named dwarf or golden cultivar. The species can become a substantial woody plant, so leave space for its mature framework when selecting a permanent site.
