Atrovirens Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata 'Atrovirens')

Atrovirens Western Red Cedar is a strong, dark-green evergreen that quickly adds privacy and structure without looking bulky or messy. It grows into a tall, narrow pyramid that works as a living wall, a wind buffer, or a clean vertical accent in larger beds. Compared with many arborvitae, it tends to hold its rich color well and keeps a full, dense look when given enough light and moisture. If you want a dependable screen that still feels natural and classic, this tree delivers year-round coverage with a straightforward care routine.

Distinctive Features

This western red cedar selection is valued for glossy, deep green, scale-like foliage and a vigorous, pyramidal habit that can be maintained as a tall hedge. The foliage may look a bit less green in winter, but it remains an evergreen presence with strong texture and density. Mature plants develop an impressive, architectural silhouette, often reaching about 30 to 45 feet tall and roughly 10 to 15 feet wide when untrimmed. Small cones can appear, but the main appeal is the dark color, fast coverage, and reliable screening performance.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade, with the densest growth typically in brighter exposures.
  • Soil: Moist, well-drained soil is best, and it adapts to many soil types if drainage is reasonable.
  • Water: Provide regular water during establishment, then water during extended dry spells to keep foliage full.
  • USDA Zones: 5 to 7.
  • Site: Choose a spot with room for height and airflow, and avoid hot, reflected-heat locations that dry the root zone.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use one specimen to create a tall evergreen focal point with a clean pyramidal outline and dark, polished color.
  • Screening: Plant in rows for a fast, dense privacy screen that can be left natural or maintained as a hedge.
  • Windbreak: Establish along exposed edges to reduce wind and create calmer garden spaces behind it.
  • Property Line: Define boundaries with a living wall that looks consistent through every season.
  • Backdrop Planting: Set behind mixed borders to make flowers and lighter foliage colors stand out more.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Shear or lightly trim in late spring to early summer if shaping is needed, and avoid cutting back into bare, leafless wood.
  • Mulching: Mulch the root zone to conserve moisture and moderate soil temperatures, keeping mulch off the trunk.
  • Watering: Deeply water during drought, especially for hedges where roots compete closely.
  • Fertilizing: Feed in spring only if growth is weak, using a slow-release evergreen fertilizer according to label directions.
  • Winter Care: In snowy areas, gently remove heavy, wet snow to reduce branch splay and preserve form.

Why Choose Atrovirens Western Red Cedar?

  • Fast Coverage: Produces quick height and density for privacy and wind protection.
  • Dark Green Color: Brings a richer evergreen tone that pairs well with lighter conifers and flowering shrubs.
  • Hedge Friendly: Responds well to pruning, making it easy to maintain as a tall, formal screen.
  • Some Deer Resistance: Often less preferred than many common arborvitae, though protection can still be wise where browsing pressure is high.
  • Four-Season Structure: Holds its shape and screening value year-round, anchoring the landscape in every season.

For big impact in the form of privacy, shelter, and year-round structure, Atrovirens Western Red Cedar is a practical evergreen you can build a landscape around. Start it with consistent moisture and good spacing, and it will reward you with dense growth and a strong, finished look. Left natural it becomes a stately pyramid, and with regular trimming it can serve as a clean, uniform hedge. Either way, it creates a confident green backdrop that makes the rest of the garden feel more intentional.

Great Product, Works as Advertised
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.46 Pound (Pack of 1)
This product works exactly as described. It makes BM's smoother and gentler. I personally use the unflavored, no sweeteners added version, and honestly, it does not taste very good, but I feel that the results are worth it, and I do not like adding extra sweeteners or flavorings to my diet. I have used this product for many years and have found that about 1 1/2 to 2 tbsps in 12 ounces of water works the best for me. You will need to experiment a bit to find the ratio that works best for you. I recommend that you start on the low side and gradually increase the amount of Metamucil as needed.

Healthy, Effective, and great when mixed with Splenda and Koolaid mix. The best of many options I've tried.
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.46 Pound (Pack of 1)
I've sampled a few different varieties of fiber supplements, including both Benefiber and off-brands, and I found that Metamucil provided the most fiber in the least offensive beverage. Compared to the other brands, this stuff is smoother textured, and goes down easier, as a sort of happy medium between the grittier supplements and the thicker ones. What about effectiveness? I have apocalyptic IBS, and since starting to take this stuff regularly (one giant glass every morning and evening), my BMs have been much more regular, and more manageable. Flare-ups happen less, and it even seems to do a decent job when taken with meals of cutting the hit to my stomach and gut. I tend to take more than the recommended amount, with an even larger serving of water, as I feel like it helps me stay hydrated and full throughout the day. I started taking the classic orange Metamucil, but although I really liked the superior flavor (rather like Orange Tang) it packed several times more sugar in each serving than fiber, so while it was great for digestive health, the overall health impact was too negative. I also sampled the sugar-free berry flavors, but found that, although it was ostensibly healthier, the flavor wasn't great, and in addition it suffered from the aspartame aftertaste and further effects (Aspartame gives me headaches). So this was a dilemma for me. What to do? I actually wrote to Metamucil about it, and they recommended this product. The downside is that it comes with absolutely no flavor, so you need to provide your own in order to mask the texture (I wouldn't dream of trying to mix this in plain water--yuck!) The upside is they pack 100+ servings into a container, and you really are free to blend it into whatever suits your fancy. Obviously if you mix it with something like orange juice, then you're already negating the benefits of this stuff over the sugary orange flavor, but I've personally found a much better way. I like to mix this stuff with Kool-aid mix and Splenda (Sucralose) sweetener. I buy a ton of Splenda and kool-aid as it mixes up tasting sweet, like sugar, but without the calories or aftertaste. You can dump a spoonful of this stuff into a glass of splenda-koolaid, or just dump 8 servings worth of this stuff in with a packet of koolaid powder and a cup of splenda, and then just mix it up and spoon it into water as needed. Better tasting, sugar-free and packed with good useful fiber. EDIT: I wish I could subscribe to this stuff. Price of splenda has gone up, but I've figured out thatyou can just dump 7 packets of koolaid mix and 7 dashes of sucralose into a container of this and shake it up.

#1 for #2's
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.46 Pound (Pack of 1)
I like the lack of sweeteners and flavor. I just want the stuff that helps me poop. There is some citric acid in it (no idea why) which gives it a mildly acidic taste. Other than that, it does the trick.

Good Stuff
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.46 Pound (Pack of 1)
If you need more fiber in your diet, you need this. The price is right, it works very well and keeps me regular. I use this instead of the gummies or capsules. That's because you MUST put in in fluid, and hydration is SO important when using a psyllium product as it causes water to be absorbed very quickly once it is ingested, and you don't want to dehydrate! Mixes very well in water and has little to no taste whatsoever. Stay regular, stay hydrated and stay well.

Works well, but is now too expensive...
Flavor Name: Unflavored, Size: 1.46 Pound (Pack of 1)
The "No added sweeteners" has been my go-to version of Metamucil, but I'm giving it 4 stars and moving on to another brand as the price is over $35 which is too much imo...
