Thuja plicata 4ever Goldy, says on the label compact shrub, but yet says grows to a height of 60-100ft. Another site states 20' in 10 years. Could you please clarify, shrub or tree?

What is the answer, just out of interest??

It's a fairly new variety Barbara, so a little on the guessing side ... can't really imagine it attaining 100 feet! i would estimate that a mature height of 20 feet in 10-15 years or so, ultimate height around 30 -40 ft, much like the larger golden Lawsons. can always be given an annual light trim to keep in in check of course.

Thanks. Internet sites can exaggerate a bit, can't they! Maybe they're guessing, too. ;-)

I've done some research and there do seem to be conflicting views on its mature height, ranging from 100cm to 100m in 10 years.
May I suggest that you contact the British Conifer Society, as we have a member of this site - 'Bluespruce' - who is very knowledgeable about conifers and will be able to give you a better answer.
You could leave him a private message on GoY too by typing 'Bluespruce' into the search box and finding his home page.
