Thuja Whipcord (Thuja occidentalis) is a captivating evergreen conifer known for its unique, cascading branches and distinct texture. The foliage is tightly arranged in graceful, arching clusters resembling delicate, soft ropes. This unique form adds a whimsical touch to the landscape, contrasting beautifully with more traditional evergreen shapes and creating a sense of tranquility.

Foliage: The foliage of Thuja Whipcord features dense, green, scale-like leaves that grow in a whorled arrangement, giving the tree an intricate, soft appearance. The feathery texture not only enhances its aesthetic appeal but also creates a lovely visual interest throughout the seasons. The vibrant green color remains rich year-round, providing a lush backdrop in winter gardens and contrasting nicely with seasonal blooms.

Size: Thuja Whipcord typically grows to a height of about 4-5 feet with a similar spread, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens or spaces where a more compact evergreen is desired. Its mounding, cascading habit creates an attractive, low-profile feature that adds dimension and softness to the landscape design.

Sun and Soil Requirements: This cultivar thrives in full sun to partial shade, with ample sunlight promoting healthy growth and the development of its unique form. Thuja Whipcord prefers well-drained, fertile soil but is adaptable to a variety of soil types. It has moderate drought tolerance once established, making it a relatively low-maintenance addition to your garden.

Pruning: Generally, Thuja Whipcord requires little to no pruning. However, if desired, minor shaping can be performed to maintain its form or to remove any unwanted growth. Its naturally elegant shape is easy to manage, allowing flexibility in design without heavy reliance on maintenance.

Landscape Use: The charming appearance and unique form of Thuja Whipcord make it a fabulous choice for focal points, mixed borders, in rock gardens, or as a low hedge. Its soft texture and lush greenery contrast beautifully with flowering perennials and shrubs, providing a serene backdrop that enhances overall garden aesthetics. 

The enchanting form of Thuja Whipcord adds a delightful touch to your outdoor space, creating a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation and enjoyment. Easy to care for, this exceptional evergreen allows you to appreciate its beauty hassle-free. When you choose Thuja Whipcord, you''re adding a distinctive and enduring element to your landscape that will bring joy for many years to come.
