INSTANTHEDGE Q&A

You’ve been waiting so patiently – thank you! One of the great things about Emerald Green Arborvitae hedges is how low-maintenance they are due to their moderately slow growth rate. The flip side of this is that they take longer to grow to a finished size, so it took an extra year for them to be ready to harvest. We are releasing the first 5-6′ hedges this fall, but if you need some 4-4.5′ hedges this summer we can accommodate that as well.
