Description
‘Emerald Green’ Arborvitae is prized for its refined, columnar shape and vibrant, emerald-green foliage that remains lush all year long. This compact evergreen is an excellent choice for screens, hedges, or adding vertical interest to smaller landscapes. Its naturally dense growth offers a polished appearance with minimal pruning, providing a stylish solution for those seeking both privacy and curb appeal in a limited space.
General Care
- Sunlight: Requires at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
- Soil: Thrives in well-drained, fertile soil, yet adapts well to a variety of soil types.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first year to help establish strong roots. Once established, it tolerates short periods of dryness but benefits from deep watering during extended dry spells.
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and moderate soil temperature. Keep mulch slightly away from the trunk.
- Pruning: Needs only light trimming in late spring or early summer to maintain its neat, upright form.
Bring long-lasting beauty and gentle elegance to your outdoor space with the reliable ‘Emerald Green’ Arborvitae—a standout in any garden.
