- Space‑saving privacy: naturally narrow, uniform cone that reaches ~12 ft. tall × ~5 ft. wide in 10 years.
- Four‑season good looks: shiny, deep‑green sprays that hold color well through winter.
- Low‑maintenance screen or hedge—responds beautifully to regular shearing for a formal face.
- Adaptable and reliable in full to partial sun; thrives in evenly moist, organically rich, well‑drained soils.
Tight Squeeze Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata ‘Green Sport’) packs big screening power into a trim, vertical footprint—perfect for narrow side yards, tight property lines, and courtyard hedges. A well‑behaved, narrowly conical evergreen, it quickly forms a uniform living wall with lustrous green foliage that keeps its color through winter. Plant in full to partial sun and deep, moisture‑retentive, well‑drained soil; shear as needed for crisp structure or let its naturally tidy outline stand on its own.
Plant Description
A compact selection of Western Red Cedar with a clean, narrowly conical habit and dense, glossy sprays of scale-like foliage. Maintains a refined, formal look without constant pruning.
Habit & Form
Uniform, narrow pyramidal outline—ideal where footprint matters or when you want a tall screen that won’t sprawl into walkways or neighboring beds.
Sun Requirements
Full sun to partial sun. Brighter exposures promote the fullest, most uniform branching.
Watering Needs
Keep evenly moist, especially during the first several seasons while roots establish. Thereafter, water when the top ~2 inches of soil begin to dry; avoid extremely dry sites.
Soil Requirements
Best in deep, organically rich, moist, well‑drained soil. Incorporate compost at planting and mulch broadly (keep mulch off the trunk) to conserve moisture.
Growth & Size
About 12 ft. tall × 5 ft. wide in 10 years; remains slender with age so you can plant closer to boundaries without sacrificing access.
Hardiness
USDA Zones 5–9; retains rich green color through winter.
Special Features
Easy‑care evergreen for erosion control, hedging, or as a clipped architectural element. Trouble‑free performance and a naturally tidy habit.
Landscape Uses
Tall privacy screens, narrow property‑line hedges, windbreaks, and vertical accents. Excellent along driveways, between homes, or flanking entries where width is limited.
Hedge Spacing
For a dense, quick screen, plant 3–5 ft. apart center‑to‑center. Lightly shear after each flush to encourage tight branching and a flat hedge face.
Care Instructions
Water deeply and regularly the first few seasons; feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring. Shear in late spring or midsummer if a formal outline is desired; otherwise, minimal pruning is needed.
Naming & Heritage
Previously sold as ‘Green Sport’; renamed to highlight its slim footprint. A selection of Western Red Cedar valued for uniformity, winter color, and narrow form.
