botany
An evergreen coniferous tree of the genus Thuja, having flattened, scale-like leaves and a strong, aromatic scent.
Thuja trees keep their scale-covered branches green throughout the year and are often planted close together to form a dense, clipped hedge. Several species, including the western red cedar, belong to this genus and are valued both for ornamental planting and for their durable, fragrant wood. The name comes from Greek and is used in botany as the formal genus name as well as a general word for the tree.
