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.

Emerald Green Arborvitae

I recently ordered Emerald Green Arborvitae, and the moment I opened the boxes, I was delighted with what I saw. The trees were vibrant, healthy, and carefully packaged, showing the kind of attention to detail I’ve come to expect from Fast-Growing-Trees. After nearly 20 years of ordering from this company for different homes of mine and landscaping projects, I can honestly say they have consistently delivered exceptional quality. What makes them stand out is not just the health and beauty of the plants, but also the reliability of their service. Every order I’ve received has arrived in excellent condition, ready to thrive. Over the years, I’ve only had to turn to other companies when Fast-Growing-Trees didn’t carry the specific pants I was looking for, and even then, it was clear that their standard of quality is hard to match. Fast-Growing-Trees has been a trusted company for creating beautiful outdoor spaces for me time and again. Whether it’s large landscape projects or just adding a few special trees, I know I can count on them to provide plants that exceed expectations. I recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for healthy, well-cared-for trees and shrubs, backed by years of proven reliability.
