Cedar 'Skybound'
FamilyCupressaceae
Thuja occidentalis 'Skybound' is a North American selection of white cedar, valued for its narrow and dense pyramidal habit, as well as its persistent dark green foliage that does not bronze in winter, even in cold climates. With moderate growth, it develops a regular silhouette without pruning, ideal for formal hedges, aligned plantings, or as a structuring specimen. It tolerates pruning well, as do wind, harsh winters, and various soils, provided they are well-drained. 'Skybound' stands out for its increased resistance to winter conditions, its naturally compact form, and its impeccable appearance all year round, making it an excellent choice for an evergreen hedge with no seasonal visual maintenance.
