Maybe the fastest growing of all the conifers this one can grow up to 1m per year. Excellent for making a hedge or screen quickly it requires periodic trimming in order to keep it neat and tidy. Twice a year will usually suffice. Prefers a sunny site in reasonable soil. Staking is necessary with larger plants but once established none is needed.
