Thuja occidentalis 'Emerald Green' is a popular choice for privacy hedges and borders, prized for its compact size, uniform habit, and vibrant emerald foliage that retains its green color throughout the year. The lush greenery of Emerald Green Arborvitae enhances the informal or formal garden, and adds a sense of serenity in the landscape.
Perfectly suited for small spaces, this compact arborvitae adds a verdant vertical element to the landscape. Easy to grow, Emerald Green Thuja looks great in small groupings, as a formal hedge, or an informal privacy screen. Create stunning green pathways with an emerald colonnade or use them as evergreen pillars in garden corners.
Emerald Green, also known as 'Smaragd' (Danish for emerald), is a cone-shaped, medium-sized conifer that grows up to 15 ft. tall by 4 ft. wide. With a moderately slow growth rate of around 12 inches per year, Thuja Emerald Green requires minimal pruning, making it a low-maintenance hedge option. Its naturally dense foliage, composed of glossy, bright green, flattened sprays with scale-like leaves, provides shelter for small birds.
Best in climates with some humidity and cold winters, Emerald Green Arborvitae flourishes in USDA zones 4-8, transforming gardens into verdant sanctuaries of privacy and beauty.
How tall does the Emerald Green Arborvitae grow?
This evergreen tree typically reaches 10 to 15 feet tall and about 3 to 4 feet wide at maturity. It grows in a dense, upright column, making it ideal for privacy screens and hedges.
What kind of sunlight does it need?
It thrives in full sun but can tolerate light shade. For best growth and dense foliage, provide at least six hours of sunlight daily.
What type of soil does it prefer?
It prefers well-drained soil that’s slightly moist and rich in organic matter. Avoid standing water or heavy clay that stays soggy.
How should I prune or maintain it?
Minimal pruning is needed. Trim lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain its shape, but avoid cutting into old wood since it does not regrow from bare stems.
