This is an attractive, evergreen conifer that has a compact growth habit makes that make it ideal for hedging purposes.

With fresh emerald-green foliage that responds well to clipping, the dense growth makes it perfect for helping to reduce noise, particularly as it quickly forms a closed hedge when planted 60cm apart. Growing 30-60cms per year, it is much more manageable than the better known leylandii with this tamer rate of growth and eventual height of around 5 metres if left unclipped. If used as a solitary specimen it will form a narrow pyramidal tree, not much wider than 2.5m.

Supplied at an approx. height of 140-160cm tall.
