Description
The Thuja occidentalis 'Maloyana Holub' is a dwarf variety of Canadian Thuja of small size with a completely original habit, resembling a candelabra. This dwarf conifer forms several vertical heads of different heights and its slightly twisted branches are a beautiful vibrant green. Its very slow growth and limited size make it a perfect subject for rock gardens, and it can even be grown in containers. Native to central Europe, it is extremely hardy and adapts to most soils. It is a low-maintenance plant that does not require pruning and only needs a little water in summer.
The Thuja occidentalis, the Canadian Thuja or Western Thuja, is sometimes called the White Cedar of Canada or Balai. It is an evergreen conifer of the Cupressaceae family native to northeastern North America. It is distributed over a wide geographic area that perfectly reflects the plasticity of its living conditions. In nature, it reaches a height of 15 to 20 m (49 to 66ft), adopting a beautiful conical habit and a trunk covered with a highly decorative bark. It is a perfectly hardy species, very well adapted to temperate climates and poor, wet, or occasionally dry soils. Its almost rot-resistant, lightweight, fragrant, and easily flammable wood lends itself to many uses.
The variety 'Maloyana Holub' comes from a selection of seeds made by Radek Holub in the Czech Republic, within the Miniarboretum u Holubů, an amazing park hosting a collection of rare conifers. It is a conifer for enthusiasts of rarity who have patience, as its growth is really very slow, about 2 to 3 cm (1in) per year. It will only reach a height of 50 to 60 cm (20 to 24in) in 10 years, and its adult size is approximately 1.50 m (5ft) tall with a spread of 90 cm (35in) to 1 m. Its appearance is extremely graphic, reminiscent of certain stalagmite formations in caves. It has no main axis, emitting several vertical heads of unequal heights. The branches can be slightly undulating, with almost crisped branchlets, all with a rather endearing tousled appearance. Each plant is thus unique, far from the varieties that form perfect cones as if moulded. The beautiful evergreen foliage of medium green is decorative all year round, and the strange silhouette of this miniature conifer will blend well with rugged rocks in a rock garden or contemporary rocky setting.
Easy to grow, this Thuja is extremely hardy, resistant to temperatures around -34°C (1°F). It adapts to most soils, whether neutral, acidic, or limestone, as long as they are not too dry in summer.
Rarely encountered, the Western Thuja 'Maloyana Holub' will delight true enthusiasts of dwarf conifers. A rock garden will be enriched by its presence, as well as a contemporary garden, as its design is unique and deserves to be highlighted. A slightly isolated planting, in a rocky setting, will be perfect. If you choose to associate it with other plants in a mixed border, be sure to choose slow-growing species to avoid suffocating it. Other dwarf conifers will then be welcome to create an original graphic scene, such as the Pinus mugo Picobello, a truly dwarf Pine that forms a dome of 80 cm (32in) to 1 m. The Pinus strobus Horsford, a miniature Weymouth Pine with feathery foliage, will also be a good companion, as well as the Abies balsamea Piccolo, a compact and bushy Balsam Fir. And to create a contrast in color, nothing beats the steel blue of the Juniperus squamata Blue Star, a dwarf Juniper that forms a flattened ball, quite different from the candelabra of our 'Maloyana Holub' Thuja.

Planting and care
The Thuja occidentalis 'Malonyana Holub' is planted from September to November and from February to April in deep, ordinary, but loose and not too heavy, acidic, neutral or even slightly calcareous soil, but not too dry in summer. It only fears scorching temperatures and prolonged drought. It is not demanding in terms of exposure, although it prefers a sunny or semi-shaded exposure to develop well. Soak the root ball well in a bucket of water before planting. Optionally, add organic amendment at planting and water generously in the first few years, and in case of prolonged drought. In very poor soil, you can apply special conifer fertilizer every year in April and hoe the soil in summer. This very hardy conifer (down to -34°C (1°F)!) requires no pruning.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).

In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
