THUJA OCCIDENTALIS ‘LINESVILLE’ / LINESVILLE CEDAR

Compact, Columnar Evergreen for Structure and Privacy
Thuja occidentalis ‘Linesville,’ also known as Linesville Cedar, is a narrow, columnar evergreen with rich green foliage that maintains its color year-round. This slow-growing variety is ideal for creating privacy screens, windbreaks, or as a formal accent in your landscape. Its upright form and dense growth make it perfect for narrow spaces where a traditional hedge or privacy fence is needed, without taking up too much space.
