Thuja occidentalis ‘Brandon’

Evergreen: Upright Cedar

Columnar, upright evergreen with dense, bright to dark green, soft, flat foliage. Great vertical accent plant or screen. In Southern Alberta Cedars require a spot with no exposure to drying northwest wind and southwest sun. Mulching around base will help retain moisture in summer. Heavy watering in fall a few weeks before freeze-up will prevent roots being damaged from cold, dry soil and minimize winter browning. Prefers moist to wet, fertile, well-drained soil. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. Little pruning needed but responds well to shearing to maintain a more compact, full appearance and should be done while new growth is actively growing in spring and before it has started to harden off.

Available in select potted sizes.
