Not everyone even realizes that thujas were once planted mainly in cemeteries. The tree was a symbol of mourning and despair. At that time, breeding it in inhabited places was avoided.

So before you decide to plant a thuja, carefully consider all the pros and cons, taking into account not only the aesthetics, but above all the health and safety of you and your loved ones.
