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.

Healthy plants

Arrived quickly and healthy. Planted within 2 days. Saw a lot of rain their first week in the ground. Seem to be suffering from a little transplant shock (yellowing tips and slight browning) Second week are starting to show signs of improvement. Looking forward to seeing them recover and thrive!

Love My Yard

Highly recommend your company. Trees were shipped perfectly right to my driveway on a Friday morning. Planted on Saturday and Sunday. I added solar lights and they look beautiful!

Good stuff

Ordered four 5-6 Jumbos. Arrived quickly and in good shape. Of course I wish they were bigger. Recommend, good price and value.

Excellent Arborvitae

The trees looked very healthy when they arrived. I was very impressed! The whole process was so easy. It’s difficult for me to transport trees in my car so I loved that they came right to my door!
