Tree of Life Tree Planting Set – Plant your own Thuja occidentalis

Arborvitae Tree Planting Set (Thuja occidentalis) by Meinwoody

The arborvitae – also called thuja – is one of the most popular evergreen trees for gardens and hedges: hardy, extremely tolerant to pruning, and with aromatically scented shoots. Its wood is so durable that it is used for roof shingles. With this set, you can plant it yourself: open, press in seeds, water. Done.

What's included

• 5–10 Arborvitae seeds (Thuja occidentalis)
• Plastic-free planting pot made from hemp fiber composite – 100% compostable
• Natural hemp fiber mat for moisture regulation in the soil
• Approx. 150 ml Terra Preta soil
• Dimensions: 6 × 6 × 5 cm (L × W × H)
• Grass paper carton with planting instructions

Facts about the Arborvitae

The arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis) originates from North America and has become an indispensable sight in German gardens – as a privacy screen, windbreak, and evergreen eye-catcher.

• Evergreen & hardy – green all year round
• Very tolerant to pruning – ideal as a hedge for privacy & wind protection
• Shoots have an intensely aromatic scent when crushed
• Extremely durable wood – traditionally used for roof shingles
• Location: sunny, water regularly, especially as a young tree
• Note: Wear gloves when pruning & crushing – can cause skin irritation

How it works

Press seeds into the soil, water – and let them grow. After cultivation, you can plant the seedling directly with the compostable pot into the ground or a larger container. The pot decomposes without residue within 12–24 months. Your plant roots freely and undisturbed.
