It is difficult to imagine a more impressive fence than a green hedge of thujas.

However, in addition to the positive aspects, such a solution also has serious disadvantages, which were discussed by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .

But first, the good news. First of all, it is worth mentioning that such a fence is unusually beautiful.

Moreover, you can give the hedge any shape by trimming the thujas in a timely manner – the plants will definitely not get sick and certainly will not die.

By the way, speaking of diseases, thujas are practically not susceptible to them. They also resist pests with the same steadfastness.

And they require simple care - watering and feeding will be quite enough.

But even the Sun has spots: a hedge made of thuja, unfortunately, takes up a lot of space, so you shouldn’t install it on a tiny plot of land.

And that very formation, without which the fence is unlikely to be beautiful, takes a lot of time and effort.

And lastly, before you start implementing such an idea, it is worth assessing your financial capabilities: a full-fledged hedge requires a lot of plants, which will cost a pretty penny.
