With a bit of pruning, even large thuja trees can be beautifully reshaped. A good example is trimming them into a narrow cone: right after pruning, the plant may look a bit bare, but within two years it will grow back dense and healthy.

This technique not only frees up space for other shrubs in your garden but also adds a decorative touch. With patience and regular trimming, you can shape your thuja into hedges, columns, or even creative garden figures.

💡 Tip: Prune on a dry, cloudy day to prevent sunburn on the fresh cuts.
