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.

Looking great so far!

Purchased a few Emerald Green Arborvitae from Lowe's about 2 years ago and had 1 die. I replaced it (3rd from the left) with one from Fast Growing Trees in the 5-6ft size and it matches my old ones pretty well! Then I got 5x 3-4ft for planting in all the windows in front of the bigger, older ones. Fingers crossed in a few years we will have a decent privacy hedge growing! They all look really healthy and green after shipping and planting. I've mulched around them 3 inches deep and I hope they last. If not, I purchased the 3 year guarantee and we can replace and fix them up. Pleased with my purchase so far and not super concerned since I bought the replacement guarantee.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertLove the planning that went into this, Erica! Getting a size matched replacement and then filling in the front with smaller ones to build out the hedge over time is such a smart approach. Healthy and green after shipping with good mulching already in place is a really promising start. We think that privacy hedge is going to come together better than you're expecting and we're glad you have that peace of mind with the guarantee too!

Emerald Green Arborvitae

The emerald greens came packaged well and had them in the ground same day. They are looking good and we are looking forward to adding some privacy to our backyard.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Ed, same day planting is the best possible start! Emerald Green arborvitaes are such reliable and beautiful privacy trees and yours are already looking great along that fence line. We think that privacy screen is going to come together beautifully over the next few seasons!

These three bushes came in extremely healthy condition with a wonderful aroma. I am so amazed and grateful for such an amazing addition, for privacy, to my yard.
