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).

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.

Sentries!

Wonderful. We have a new home that begs for privacy, boundaries, beautification, and produce. So far, excellent. The Emerald Green Arborvitae are perfect along the road. The Chicago Hardy Fig has loads of new leaves, and replaces the one we had to leave behind. . . very happy.

So far, so good

They are stressed right now, need a couple of months se see any growth.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Darryl! Thanks for sharing. It’s totally normal for new plants to show a bit of stress as they adjust. With a little time, care, and patience, they should settle in and begin to grow. Please reach out if you need anything!
