    Hello,

    I've been told this is a conifer - but wonder if its perhaps a thuja?

    Can anyone identify what variety?

    It's currently 3 metres tall - I'm keen to get an idea of how tall / wide it will grow (and how quickly), so I can plant it in a permanent place.



    Thanks!

    I agree with Ron, a close up of the foliage would be nice.
    I was about to say yes looks like it then I noticed your down under.

    Could then easily be a Cupressus, but..................

    Something in the cypress family Cupressaceae; need a better pic to tell.

    BTW, Thuja (like everything in the cypress family) is a conifer.
