Description
Thuja plicata ‘Green Sport’ Tight Squeeze™ is a distinctive cultivar of Western Red Cedar prized for its exceptionally tight, compact growth habit and rich green foliage. Native to the Pacific Northwest, the Western Red Cedar has long been valued both for its durable, aromatic wood and its ecological role in native forests. The ‘Green Sport’ selection features densely layered, scale-like leaves that maintain a vibrant green color year-round, making it an excellent choice for formal hedges, screens, or architectural accents in the landscape. Its naturally narrow and columnar form creates a striking vertical presence without the need for heavy pruning, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional privacy. This cultivar’s resilience to a variety of soil conditions and its adaptability to different climates contribute to its popularity among landscapers and gardeners seeking low-maintenance evergreens with strong visual impact. The Tight Squeeze™ trademark highlights its uniquely compressed growth pattern, setting it apart from other Western Red Cedars in garden and commercial settings.
