A stunning example of the ancient Japanese art of Niwaki cloud pruning, applied to the reliably hardy Thuja occidentalis. Each tier of lush, emerald-green foliage is carefully sculpted into billowing cloud-like pom-poms along an elegant, exposed stem — creating a living sculpture that brings year-round structure and theatre to any garden. A true statement plant that speaks of craftsmanship and patience, and one that garden lovers return to time and again.
Care
Best in full sun to partial shade. Keep well-watered during the first growing season to establish; once settled, relatively drought tolerant. Trim cloud pom-poms lightly once or twice a year (late spring and late summer) to maintain their shape and encourage dense growth. Avoid hard cutting into old wood. Feed with a balanced slow-release fertiliser in spring.
Hardiness: H6
