Thuja trees are very loved by many gardeners and landscape designers. And indeed, this evergreen coniferous plant is simply irreplaceable! It looks great both on a flower bed of a small summer cottage and in huge park areas. Photos of the application of thuja in landscape design inspire you to create new beautiful compositions in your garden!
In landscape design, thuja has been used for several centuries. Pyramidal tall trees look great as tapeworms, and spherical shrubs with a dense crown are attractive both in single and group plantings.
The conifer perfectly animates winter parks and summer cottages with its greenery. By the way, there are many frost-resistant varieties of arborvitae that tolerate low temperatures and strong winds. For our cold climate, this is very important.
Thuja needles are thick and dense, which is used by gardeners, creating topiary. Decorative haircuts of trees and shrubs in the form of geometric shapes appeared a very long time ago.

Nowadays, topiaries in the form of figures of people, cartoon characters, animals and various objects are especially popular. The art of decorating and decorating the landscape has become one of the fashionable areas of modern design.
The color of the crown in different species of thuja is different: from yellow to dark green tones. This can be used for coloristic decisions in the composition.
Due to the fact that the crown can be given any shape, these evergreens began to be used in almost all directions and styles of landscape design. Of particular note is the design of squares, large parks and flower gardens.
As can be seen from the photographs, thuja is used both as a single landing and as an accent on the flower beds. Often you can see these plants in the form of hedges or artificial labyrinths.
