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.

Happy Trees!🌲

I ordered 6 @ 2ft. They arrived dry but look very healthy. I watered them overnight on my patio, got them planted and they are thriving. The wait is on for privacy trees! 💚⏳I may have to move them in fall before they get too large because I couldn’t place them where I planned since they get wider than I realized. They’re going to be a beautiful addition. Definitely happy trees!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Randa, it's great to hear your trees are healthy and thriving. Giving them a good soak before planting was a great move. As they grow, you can always relocate them while they’re still young. We’re excited for you to see that privacy come in.
