Emerald Green Arborvitae Care

View Full Planting & Care Instructions
sun shining

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).

drops of water

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.

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.

Yes, I like my Emerald Green Arborvitae

Nice, healthy plants! They traveled safely and were still moist upon arrival! I have planted them, and hopefully I’ll have some good summer growth!

Not pet urine friendly

I just finished planting 40 of these and they smell amazing, and for the most part they are doing well; however, I want to write this post for others who may not be plant savvy which I definitely am not. Do not buy these if you have a dog that likes to "mark" things like trees and bushes. This plant is not pet urine safe. I learned that the hard way ad a few were marked. I am currently trying to save them but we will see. I have posted a picture of one that is the worse off and a part of how I planted them. My smaller dog marks and his currently in yard potty training.

The trees that came in were overall nice, but we experienced some issues upon delivery. The customer service team was able to hell and made things right. We would recommend them in the future.
