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.

And the Arborvitaes are exceptional performers, adaptable to a variety of soil conditions and weather extremes. That means you won't have to deal with ugly browning, even in the coldest of winters, or unattractive dead spots and holes.

FTG has served me well over many years.

I have purchased many trees (10 to be exact - to include Emerald Green, Red Maple, and Cleveland Pear)) from FGTs and have yet to have one fail. I would suggest that you keep a close watch on 'bag-worms' however. Can't say for sure that a tree was infested when I received it or it happened after planting. But I discovered one of my Emerald Greens was badly infested and caught it just in time. Spraying and removal by hand saved the tree and those around it but it was close. Please ensure all your trees are clean when shipped.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Jim, thank you for your continued support. We’re sorry to hear about the bagworms and will share this with both the carrier and our team. We thoroughly review all trees and plants regularly to ensure they're healthy when they leave us to head to their forever homes. While it can be hard to trace exactly where pests come from, we take your feedback seriously. We’re glad you caught it in time and that your trees are doing well overall.

Beautiful and Vibrant!

OMG. I absolutely love my babies. I purchased 10 to align my front yard fence. I live in the city. Although the 5 ft fence is good, these evergreens will add some pizazz. They came packaged so beautifully. I can't get over how fast they took to their new environment, like they were meant to be. They are thriving so well. Green and lush. I'm beyond satisfied.

5 Star Buy

We had a great experience buying from fast growing trees. We bought 70 of the Emerald Green Arborvitae. I had one of these trees start to turn black, I called the help line and bought what they told me and a couple of months later the tree is healed.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Erech, we love hearing success stories like this. Thank you for choosing us for your Arborvitae purchase. We are happy our care tips helped bring that one tree back to health, and we are excited for how great your full hedge will look as it fills in. Drop a line if you have any questions.
