Thuja plicata 'Cole's Variety' – Extra Hardy Western Red Cedar Hedging
Planted Height (excluding pot): 150–175cm | 4ft 11in – 5ft 9in
Thuja plicata 'Cole's Variety' is an exceptionally hardy, fast-growing Western Red Cedar, prized for its dense, rich emerald-green foliage and strongly upright, columnar habit. An outstanding choice for creating a robust, evergreen hedge or screen with real presence from day one.
Each plant is supplied in a 10 litre pot with a well-established root system, ready to perform from the moment it goes in the ground. The planted height — measured from soil level, not the top of the pot — means what you see is what you get: an instant, substantial hedge.

Planting & Care
Plant in any well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Suitable for most UK conditions including exposed and coastal sites. Trim once or twice a year to maintain shape. Water well during the first growing season to establish.
Why Choose 'Cole's Variety'?
If you're familiar with Thuja plicata 'Martin' — one of the most popular hedging thujas — 'Cole's Variety' shares the same tight, upright habit and dense screening ability, but with exceptional cold hardiness that makes it particularly well-suited to northern UK gardens and elevated or exposed plots. A premium, reliable choice for a long-lasting hedge.

Planting Tips
💧 Watering – Essential for Success
Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.
Rootballed Plants
Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.
Potted Plants
Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.
Trees & Tall Plants
When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
