Thuja Orientalis

Thuja orientalis are evergreen trees growing from 3 to 61 meters tall, with stringy-textured reddish-brown bark. The shoots are flat, with side shoots only in a single plane. The scale leaves are arranged in alternating decussate pairs in four rows along the twigs. The male cones are small and are located at the tips of the twigs. The female cones grow to about 1–2 cm long at maturity when 6–8 months old; they have 6-12 overlapping, thin, leathery scales, each scale bearing 1–2 small seeds with a pair of narrow lateral wings.
