The Techny Cedar (Thuja occidentalis ‘Techny’) is a robust, cold-hardy evergreen cultivar prized for its dense, pyramidal form and exceptional foliage retention. It maintains a rich, dark green colour throughout the year, even in harsh winter conditions, with minimal bronzing. This uniformity and resilience make it a premier choice for foundation plantings, tall hedges, and windbreaks.

It grows at a moderate pace to a mature height of 10-15 feet with a 6-8 foot spread, forming a thick, impenetrable screen. Extremely adaptable and low-maintenance, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of soils, including clay. It is also deer resistant.

Selected for its reliability and toughness, the Techny Cedar is a workhorse in northern landscapes (Zone 3). It provides year-round structure, privacy, and a classic evergreen backdrop, requiring little care once established. It is one of the most trusted cultivars for consistent performance.
