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.

Replacing privacy line

Replacing 300 ft of Leyland Cypress trees that fell to electric company right -of-way. So far have 40 trees in ground, expect to eventually plant roughly 120 as finances and time allows. Trees arrived quickly, well packaged, and in great shape. Had to wait for tree company to clear out and trees held up well. In ground and seem to be doing well. Can't wait to finish line.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThank you, Daniel! Replacing a 300-foot privacy line is no small task, and we're thrilled to hear your Emerald Green Arborvitae arrived healthy and ready to plant. It sounds like you're off to a fantastic start, and we hope each new planting brings you one step closer to the lush, year-round privacy screen you're creating. Wishing you continued success with the project!

UPS mangled the boxes but

UPS mangled the boxes but the trees made it ok. All 8 seem to be growing well and they look very very nice. The wife and I have used Fast Growing Trees for many years. Always a nice product and beautiful flowers and trees.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Mark, we apologize that the boxes arrived damaged during transit and will pass this feedback along to the carrier. We're relieved to hear your Emerald Green Arborvitae came through unharmed and are thriving. We appreciate your loyalty and kind words, and we're always here if you need any help along the way.
