The fascination of the Thuja plicata 'Whipcord'

The Thuja plicata 'Whipcord', also known as the giant arborvitae 'Whipcord', is a fascinating ornamental plant that delights garden lovers all over the world with its unusual appearance and versatile uses. This particular variety of western arborvitae is characterised by its striking, thread-like branches and is an important part of the culture and life of indigenous peoples. This conifer was used by the indigenous people for a variety of purposes, from making canoes and containers to using its branches for ceremonies and rituals. Its wood was valued for its durability and strength and was used in the construction of houses and other structures.
The thread-like branches of 'Whipcord' are covered with dense, bright green needles that remain fresh and vibrant all year round. This compact conifer grows slowly and forms a dense, cascading shape that gives it an elegant yet striking character. 'Whipcord' usually reaches a height of around 1 to 1.5 metres and a similar width, making it an ideal choice for smaller gardens, rock gardens or container plantings.

Versatile uses

The unique appearance of Thuja plicata 'Whipcord' offers numerous creative possibilities for garden design. From use as a solitary plant in a Japanese garden to greening slopes or rock faces, the versatility of 'Whipcord' knows no bounds and can add a special touch to any garden. This giant arborvitae thrives best in sunny to semi-shady locations with well-drained soil. Regular watering is particularly important during dry periods, but the 'Whipcord' is generally easy to care for and only requires occasional fertiliser applications in spring.
In addition, 'Whipcord' has also found a practical use as a hedge plant or privacy screen in gardens and landscapes. Its compact form and dense branches make it an excellent choice for creating privacy and structure in any garden.
Whether in a formal garden, a naturalised landscape garden or an urban park, the 'Whipcord' will always play a special role and enchant people with its timeless elegance and rich history.
