Thuja Golden Brabant

Thuja Golden Brabant

Thuja occidentalis ‘Golden Brabant’ is an evergreen, conical hedge conifer valued for its dense, upright habit and aromatic sprays of golden-yellow foliage. It forms a reliable, year-round screen that clips neatly for formal structure and privacy. Thriving in sun or light shade and in most fertile, moist but welldrained soils, it is well suited to neat boundary hedges and structured planting. In time, expect an approximate mature height of about 3 m with a spread around 1.2 m when maintained as a hedge.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
