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.

So very impressed

We ordered 10 of the 2-3 ft arborvitaes to make a privacy hedge along our sidewalk (as our city does not allow fencing). This size had the price point and quantity available that we needed. When these showed up, they were on average 42inches tall!!!! We were THRILLED as our ideal hedge height is about 8 ft, so these will reach that in about 3 seasons. I unboxed the trees immediately and watered. They were in great shape, packed well, and promptly delivered. I have bought from this company before and will absolutely do it again. I also noticed that this batch came from a university program in South Carolina which I thought was kinda cool. I like the idea of students learning in relation to this purchase.

Great Quality and Delivered as Promised

Great quality, and as described. Although they arrived looking a little unhappy, after unpacking and a few days of good waterings. . . they're doing well. I will definitely buy from Fast Growing Trees again!
