The Emerald Green Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’, is a conifer evergreen that grows in a narrow pyramidal shape. It grows to be 15′ tall and 3-4′ wide and is easy to take care of. These are commonly used for windbreaks, privacy screens and borders. Emerald Green Arborvitae can be planted in the ground or in pots.

Emerald Green Arborvitae Care

These plants do best in full sun, although they can tolerate partial shaded areas.  The Emerald Green Arborvitae does best in well drained soil and should be watered thoroughly when planted and during droughts. The soil can dry out between water periods, but these are not drought resistant. For fertilizing, apply a 10-10-10 fertilizer in the spring to help promote healthy growth throughout the year. You can also fertilize again in the fall if you would like. Do not apply fertilizer when planting though.

Emerald Green Arborvitae Spacing

If you are using these as a privacy hedge, plant 3 feet apart center to center. Otherwise, plant Emerald Green Arborvitae at least 4 feet apart. These will grow 6 to 9 inches a year once established.
