A widely grown conifer for hedges and windbreaker. Cultivated in gardens to make green screens, windbreak and other hedges. Its shape and easy pruning make him of great value. Its wood is used in carpentry and as firewood.
20m tall conifer with a brown-reddish attractive bark. It has greyish and aromatic foliage.
Any soils but prefers deep, limestone and dry soils.
Dig a hole at least two or three times as wide and deep as the root ball. Take out the plant from the container and loosen roots to allow them to spread out in all direction. Cut possible broken roots. Mix the soil extracted with a substrate and fill part of the hole with the mixture obtained. Place the plant in the hole and cover with the remaining mixture. Compact the soil around the plant and water thoroughly.
