Where to buy Thuja plicata trees in Ontario
Comments (2)Thanks Rai, it's funny you should mention Northlands because I must have been one of their best customers this spring & I live about a 15 min's drive from there. I don't think they had T.plicata, but now that you gave me the idea... I'm trying to find their number & can't anywhere! It's so weird -- not in the white pages or yellow pages or Canada 411. Can't find their website anymore either -- I used to have a link, but it got wiped in a system re-format....See MoreThuja plicata 'Whipcord'
Comments (19)I know this is an old thread, but I'd thought I'd share the following. In Appleton, WI, my friend has this on a standard...at least 5-6 years now. It's always done great, does not even get winter burn. Also, farther north in Luxemburg, WI, there's a family owned nursery called "The Plantscapers". They have one that's about a 12' tall tree...no winterburn, doing great. Luxemburg is close to Green Bay, and much closer to Lake Michigan than Appleton, but still considered 4a/5b.

A new cultivar of Thuja plicata named `Daniellow` that is characterized by its upright, conical habit and its bright yellow color throughout the year. In combination these traits set `Daniellow` apart from all other existing varieties of Thuja plicata known to the inventor Here is a link that might be useful: United States Patent: PP20267...See MoreWhich grows faster, Thuja plicata or Thuja plicata 'excelsa'?
Comments (4)'Excelsa' sold here tend to discolor (bronze or brown) more readily in winter. But old Latin name cultivars like this are likely to have become represented in commerce by multiple independent introductions over the years. Some years ago I even heard the claim that a local wholesale grower was telling shoppers a field of a cultivar he had was whichever one they were looking for, as the occasion arose. If the were looking for 'Atrovirens', that's what they were, if they wanted 'Excelsa', that's what he had, and so on....See Moreconiferjoy
