Many people plant thujas in their country houses for decoration and to create a hedge, and another significant advantage is that they are not attacked by many pests and diseases.

But it happens that thujas turn brown in winter.

This is due to the fact that thujas have a protective reaction to low temperatures.

For most of these plants, this phenomenon is considered normal.

There is no need to panic.

With the onset of warm weather the color will be restored.

It is also necessary to take into account that with age the thuja will stop changing color. From now on it will always be green.

It is also worth knowing when buying such plants that there are varieties that always change color in winter. This is their specialty.

For example, the western thuja and the plicata thuja begin to change their color in the cold season. But if you want the thujas to always be green, it is better to pay attention to the "Smargt" variety.
