'Brandon' Cedar
FamilyCupressaceae
Thuja occidentalis 'Brandon' is a selection of white cedar with a narrow and dense pyramidal habit, ideal for evergreen hedges, windbreaks, or structured specimen plantings. Its medium green foliage, composed of aromatic flat scales, remains colorful all year round, with good winter retention and no significant browning. This cultivar is particularly well-suited to cold climates thanks to its tight and regular form. It tolerates pruning, wind, and poor, well-drained soils well, while maintaining moderate and balanced growth. Very popular for low to medium hedges or small gardens, 'Brandon' combines hardiness, dense habit, and easy maintenance, perfect for a durable and aesthetic green screen.
