With a narrow pyramidal habit, Emerald Green Arborvitae has a great natural shape for hedging and also responds well to regular pruning.
Emerald Green is disease resistant and easy to grow, making it a popular low-maintenance hedge.
The Emerald Green Arborvitae performs well in a variety of soil and weather conditions, including snow and ice. Even the coldest of winters, the tree maintains its shape and color.
Its rich foliage and attractive narrow form make the tree an excellent choice to plant in a row for a formal screen.
Emerald Green Arborvitae prefers loamy, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.
The common name of arborvitae, or “tree of life”, comes from the early settlers in North America who learned from Native Americans that the tree’s foliage, sap, bark and twigs had medicinal properties.
