Emerald Green Arborvitae Care

View Full Planting & Care Instructions

Sunlight

Emerald Green Thujas grow best in full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day), but they can withstand partial shade (afternoon sun is best in this case).

Watering

Water your new tree 1-2 times per week for the first month, then once a week. Water more frequently if it is dry and hot. Water your tree by placing a water hose at its base for 20 seconds. Emerald Green Thujas will establish after 6 months and regular rainfall will provide sufficient watering.

Fertilizing

Use a general evergreen and shrub fertilizer in the Spring to support the growth of your tree.

Perfect Height for Privacy, Even in Small Spaces

Why Emerald Green Arborvitaes?

Ready to cultivate your own privacy fence or lush screen of greenery? The Emerald Green Arborvitae is the go-to. Easy to grow and sized perfectly, these hedge trees are ideal for tight areas. And their shimmering emerald color and disease resistance make them extremely popular.

The Emerald is your best choice for a medium-sized privacy screen. Just plant these amazing hedges in groupings for a tidy, neat look that never needs trimming. The Emerald Green Arborvitae is perfect for planting next to foundations or other tight areas where you need an attractive evergreen accent tree that grows hassle-free.

Healthy and Fast delivery

First time ordering from this site and was skeptical - and happy to say VERY happy and satisfied. We ordered 9 plants and all were delivered fast and healthy. We opened the boxes in our garage, unpacked the plants and gave them some water. The next day we left them out in the sun to acclimate and planted the following day. (Even our landscaper and sprinkler guy noticed and commented how good they looked) Before ordering - we did check with the local "big box" store - which did not have the amount we needed, as it is early in the planting season. Between the discounts offered, and the shipping straight to our home instead of having to "go to a store" - the prices were comparable. We would highly recommend using Fast Growing Trees - and will be using them in our future projects.

I ordered 8 of the

I ordered 8 of the 1' - 2' Emerald Green Arborviteas and they arrived in just over a week. The were packeged safely and covered in plastic wrap. I planted them a few days later and when I unwrapped them they were all moist and in good condition. I week later they seem healthy and appreciated with the water i feed them each day. So far so good.

Cute Little green trees

They arrived in good condition. Stayed healthy until I could get them planted since our weather was not cooperating. They make me happy whenever I look at them. I ended up getting more locally because I liked them do well. I live on a corner lot so can’t put up privacy fence but eventually these will help on the one side.
