Introducing the Platycladus orientalis Oriental Arborvitae! This unique evergreen coniferous tree, found in northwest China, is the only species in its genus. Also known as Chinese Arborvitae or Biota, the bright green scale-like leaves of this tree darken as it ages. It is commonly used for hedges and specimen trees due to its densely branched structure and tiered branches. The cone-shaped fruits and seedless foliage make it easily distinguishable from other conifers such as Thuja. The Platycladus orientalis is associated with long life and vitality in Buddhist thought in China. It is ideal for temperate climates and widely used as an ornamental tree. Don't miss your chance to add a touch of longevity and beauty to your landscape with the Platycladus orientalis! Visit our website for more information.
