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.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThat's a beautiful and ambitious planting project! We're so glad they arrived healthy and on time and that they're already bouncing back after the initial shock. Emerald Green Arborvitaes are such a rewarding and fast growing variety and that border is going to be stunning. Thank you for sharing!

So far so good! Been hot in Denver CO. We water them and they remind me when I forget by giving their little drop. Very happy so far!

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!
