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

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.
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.
My emerald green arborvitae arrived
My emerald green arborvitae arrived very healthy. They have been planted along a border of the yard and are growing well.
