Ideal placement of a Thuja occidentalis 'Martin'

Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' thrives in a range of lighting conditions, from full sun to partial shade and even in shaded areas. Despite its adaptability, to achieve the best growth rate and maintain its lush, evergreen foliage, a location with ample sunlight is preferable. This variety is quite forgiving when it comes to soil type, requiring only that the soil be well-drained to prevent root rot and ensure optimal health. With its robust winter hardiness, 'Martin' can withstand cold temperatures down to USDA zone 6, making it a resilient choice for a variety of landscapes.

How do I plant a Thuja occidentalis 'Martin'?

To plant Thuja occidentalis 'Martin', choose a location that can be in full sun to partial shade. Begin by preparing the soil to ensure it is well-drained, as stagnant water can hinder growth. Dig a hole that is twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the root ball in the hole, ensuring the top is level with the soil surface. Backfill with the excavated soil, pressing down firmly to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. This species is adaptable, with a robust growth rate, and will quickly form a dense hedge, providing privacy and aesthetic appeal.

Pruning a Thuja occidentalis 'Martin'

Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' benefits from pruning twice per year to maintain its shape and promote dense foliage. The first pruning should occur in early spring before new growth starts, and the second in late summer, allowing the hedge to recover before the colder months. It is advisable not to prune too late in the season to prevent new growth from being damaged by frost. In regions within USDA zone 6, where winter temperatures can drop between -17.8°C and -23.3°C, well-timed pruning ensures hardiness and vigor.

Watering a Thuja occidentalis 'Martin'

For optimal growth and health, Thuja occidentalis 'Martin' requires consistent moisture, particularly when establishing its {T. root system} in new settings. Once established, this evergreen can tolerate a range of conditions, but it's important to maintain a regular watering schedule. During dry spells or in the heat of summer, water deeply at the base to encourage a strong, deep {T. root system}. In the winter months, monitor the soil moisture and provide water if the ground is not frozen and the area is experiencing uncharacteristically dry conditions.

Fertilising a Thuja occidentalis 'Martin'

To support the robust growth rate and visual density of Thuja 'Martin', it is essential to provide the appropriate nutrients. Fertilize twice annually—in early spring and mid-autumn—with a balanced, slow-release conifer fertilizer to encourage strong root development and dense foliage. In spring, fertilization helps kick-start the year's growth, while the autumn application prepares the hedge for the colder months, enhancing winter hardiness in climates as low as USDA zone 6, where temperatures can drop between -17.8°C and -23.3°C. When applying fertilizer, ensure even distribution around the base of the hedge, avoiding direct contact with the trunk and foliage to prevent burn. An adequate fertilization regime will ensure that the hedge remains healthy, luscious, and provides effective privacy year-round.
