A tree closely related to Thuja and chiefly distinguished by the broader much flattened branchlets and by its conelets having 3-5 winged seeds under each scale.—Only one Japanese species. Its yellowish white close and straight-grained wood is very durable and is used in Japan in boat- and bridge-building. | A tree closely related to Thuja and chiefly distinguished by the broader much flattened branchlets and by its conelets having 3-5 winged seeds under each scale.—Only one Japanese species.

Thujopsis is one of the most beautiful Japanese conifers and forms a pyramidal tree, in cultivation sometimes shrubby, with spreading branches, the branchlets arranged in a frond-like fashion, much flattened and clothed with scale-like glossy green foliage. It is well adapted for planting as a single specimen on the lawn wherever it can be grown successfully. It is hardy as far north as Massachusetts, but usually suffers from summer drought. It thrives best in a sheltered and shaded position and in moist loamy soil, and seems to grow to perfection only in cool and moist climates. Propagation is by seeds, also by cuttings and by grafting like thuja. Plants raised from cuttings usually grow into bushy round-headed plants. Plants grafted on thuja are said to be short-lived. Seedlings are therefore to be preferred. | Thujopsis is one of the most beautiful Japanese conifers and forms a pyramidal tree, in cultivation sometimes shrubby, with spreading branches, the branchlets arranged in a frond-like fashion, much flattened and clothed with scale-like glossy green foliage.

A tree closely related to Thuja and chiefly distinguished by the broader much flattened branchlets and by its conelets having 3-5 winged seeds under each scale.—Only one Japanese species. Its yellowish white close and straight-grained wood is very durable and is used in Japan in boat- and bridge-building. Thujopsis is one of the most beautiful Japanese conifers and forms a pyramidal tree, in cultivation sometimes shrubby, with spreading branches, the branchlets arranged in a frond-like fashion, much flattened and clothed with scale-like glossy green foliage. It is well adapted for planting as a single specimen on the lawn wherever it can be grown successfully. It is hardy as far north as Massachusetts, but usually suffers from summer drought. It thrives best in a sheltered and shaded position and in moist loamy soil, and seems to grow to perfection only in cool and moist climates. Propagation is by seeds, also by cuttings and by grafting like thuja. Plants raised from cuttings usually grow into bushy round-headed plants. Plants grafted on thuja are said to be short-lived. Seedlings are therefore to be preferred. CH
