Straight from the grower
Straight from the grower
We have been growing our plants with great passion since 1976. We are therefore proud that the third generation is now at the helm of our family business. All plants and trees we supply come either directly from our own nursery or from fellow nurseries that work in partnership with Heijnen. Through our close cooperation with various skilled growers, plant importers and other professionals, we guarantee products that are as fresh and high quality as possible. What this means for you is healthy and beautiful plants and trees straight from the nursery at competitive prices.

Root type
Root type

A plant or tree can be delivered in a pot, with a root ball or with bare roots.

  • Pot: the advantage of plants grown in pots is that they can be planted all year round, with the exception of periods of frost. After planting, both the root system and the visible, above-ground parts of the plant/tree will continue to grow immediately, provided temperatures are high enough.
  • Root ball: plants and trees with (wired) root balls can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground.
  • Bare roots: plants and trees delivered with bare roots can be planted roughly between October and April, depending on the weather. During these months, the plants are dormant and at their least vulnerable, which is ideal for planting. Because the plants are freshly uprooted (dug up) at the growers, the root system may be somewhat damaged. Once planted, the plant/tree will first form new roots and will then continue to grow above ground. Because there is no sand on the roots, the plants are lightweight and therefore easy to carry.

Height at time of delivery (cm)

'Height without root ball' refers to the measurement of a plant or tree where the height is measured without taking into account the underlying root ball of roots and soil normally present when the plant is moved. When measuring height without root ball, only the visible part of the plant above ground, such as the trunk/stem, branches and leaves, is taken into account, while the root ball that is normally below ground is excluded from the measurement.

Height at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)
Width at time of delivery (cm)

Our plants can be ordered in different sizes. By width on delivery (cm), we mean the approximate width of the plant in centimetres when we deliver it to you.

The number of centimetres indicated refers to the widest part of the plant. It may not be as wide in other places, since it is a natural product and does not have standard dimensions.

Positioning
Positioning

By positioning, we mean the number of hours of sunlight at the spot where the plants are to be placed. There are three categories for this, namely:

  • Sun - more than 4 hours of sun per day
  • Partial shade - up to 4 hours of sun per day
  • Shade - less than 2 hours of sun per day

The type of soil is of minor importance in most cases, unless otherwise stated for the product.

Application
Application

By 'application' we mean how the planting can be used in the garden. In this, we distinguish between the possible applications below:

Border: also called a bed, this is a strip of ground (part of the garden) intended for planting. Due to the construction of paths, terraces and lawn, a garden often consists of multiple borders:

  • Group planting: plants that are at their best when placed together in small or large groups and can be easily combined with other garden plants if desired.
  • Edge planting: mostly low-growing plants that are suitable for use at the edge of borders and so provide a nice progression from low to tall plants.
  • Underplanting: mostly shade-loving plants that can be planted under large shrubs and trees.

Solitary: a plant (usually a larger shrub) that does best when planted alone and not with several of the same variety together. A solitary plant is a real eye-catcher and also provides 'body' to the garden. You place a solitary plant in a border in combination with (relatively) low-growing plants, for example.

Pot: a plant that grows well in a pot.

Planter: plants that are perfect for use in planters.

Hedge: plants that grow particularly tall and branch nicely through pruning. This makes them ideal for use as a natural screen (hedge). We offer hedge plants for both low and tall hedges.

Pergola: plants that are ideal for planting and growing against a pergola.

Fence: plants that can be grown against a fence or placed in front of a fence.

Wall: plants that can be grown against a wall or placed in front of a wall.

Trellis: plants that can be grown in a trellis to create more greenery and privacy in the garden.

Slope: plants that are ideal for planting on a slope.

Buy thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'

Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens', commonly known as White Cedar, is a robust conifer that provides a lush green presence in the landscape throughout the year. Its dense foliage and stately form make it an excellent choice for creating a living privacy screen or for standing as a solitary specimen, adding structure and elegance to the garden.

This particular cultivar is cherished for its resilience and adaptability, flourishing in a range of soil types and weather conditions. The 'Atrovirens' is known not only for its visual appeal but also for its ability to create a quickly obscuring barrier, making it an asset for any garden design requiring privacy or wind protection.

Key Features

The 'Atrovirens' cultivar boasts a collection of attributes that make it a desirable choice for gardeners and landscapers alike:

  • The evergreen nature of this Thuja guarantees a year-round display of vibrant green foliage, contributing to the aesthetic continuity of your garden.
  • With an impressive growth rate of 30-50 centimeters per year, the plant reaches its desired height swiftly, ensuring a quickly obscuring hedge or focal point in a relatively short amount of time.
  • This cultivar is winter hardy and can endure temperatures as low as -23.3°C (USDA zone 6a), making it a resilient choice for a variety of climates.
  • It requires little maintenance, thriving in full sun to partial shade, and is suited for all well-drained soil types.
  • Despite its fast growth, the 'Atrovirens' needs pruning only twice a year to maintain its shape and density, which is less often compared to many other hedge varieties.

Tips

  • To ensure the best growth and health for your Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens', plant it in a location that receives adequate sunlight but can also tolerate shade.
  • While the 'Atrovirens' is low-maintenance, providing the plant with sufficient water during its establishment period and in times of drought will ensure its longevity and vitality.
  • When pruning, strive to maintain a natural pyramidal shape, which is characteristic of this species, by trimming less as you move up the plant. This practice encourages dense growth and results in a more attractive hedge.
  • While the 'Atrovirens' does not require extensive pruning, it responds well to trimming should you wish to shape it or control its size. It is best to prune in late winter or early spring before the onset of new growth.

Ideal placement of a Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'

For optimal growth, Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens', also known as > Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens', requires a well-drained location, though it is adaptable to a variety of soil types. This versatile plant can flourish in full sun to shade, making it a flexible choice for gardeners seeking a quickly obscuring hedge or a stately solitary specimen. With its evergreen foliage providing year-round greenery, it's important to choose a position where the plant can establish without being subjected to prolonged dry conditions, as it is not drought-resistant. Properly acclimating this species to its environment will ensure robust growth and hardiness, even in USDA zone 6a.

Planting a Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'

When planting Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens', it is vital to ensure the plant's root ball is adequately moistened before placing it into the ground. Choose a location that can be in shade, partial shade, or sun, as this species is adaptable to varying light conditions. The soil should be well-drained to promote healthy root growth. Once planted, water the plant thoroughly to settle the surrounding earth and eliminate any air pockets. Given its impressive winter hardiness, tolerating temperatures down to -20.6°C (-6°F), USDA zone 6a, this evergreen can be a robust, year-round green presence in your landscape.

Pruning a Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'

Regular pruning is not necessary for Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens', as it naturally maintains a dense growth habit. However, to promote a more uniform shape or to fit a specific landscape design, pruning may be done twice annually. The best times to prune are in the spring before new growth starts or in late summer, avoiding the hottest days. When trimming, ensure cuts are made just above a set of foliage to encourage lush, healthy regrowth, and shape the hedge so that the base is wider than the top for optimal sunlight exposure.

Watering a Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'

For optimal growth and health, Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens' requires consistent moisture, particularly when establishing a red cedar hedge. Water the root ball deeply to encourage deep root development. During the first growing season, it's vital to maintain a regular watering schedule, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings. This species is not drought-resistant, so during periods of low rainfall, additional irrigation will be necessary to prevent stress. In winter, reduce the frequency of watering as the plant's growth slows and the evaporation rate decreases.

Fertilising a Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'

For the robust growth and maintenance of Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens', fertilization should be approached thoughtfully. This species thrives with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied in early spring, which will support its development throughout the growing season. Due to its evergreen nature and steady growth rate of 30-50 cm per year, consistent nutrient availability is crucial.

It is important to note that even though Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens' and Thuja plicata are often used interchangeably in landscaping for hedging purposes, their fertilization needs may differ slightly. Always ensure that the fertilizer is distributed evenly around the base of the plant, avoiding direct contact with the foliage or stem. Water thoroughly after application to help the soil absorb the nutrients, which is especially vital if the plant is not drought-resistant. Regular feeding will sustain the plant's vibrant green foliage throughout all seasons.

The characteristics of a Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens'

Thuja occidentalis 'Atrovirens' provides a dense evergreen screen year-round, making it an excellent choice for a western red cedar hedge. Its resilient root ball ensures a robust foundation for growth, allowing it to thrive in a variety of soil conditions. Regular watering and mulching retain soil moisture and provide a stable environment for root development, ensuring your hedge remains lush and vibrant.
