Emerald Green Thuja Arborvitae

 

Emerald Green Thuja Arborvitae

Emerald Green Thuja Arborvitae

One of the best privacy trees. Thuja Emerald Green is an upright evergreen of exceptional quality with a moderate growth rate, reaching 12 feet in just a few years. It makes a tall, narrow column of green just three feet across and is ideal for smaller gardens where other evergreens are just too large. Because it grows into a narrow cone it can be used to make a screen that will need little or no clipping. However with clipping it will be neater and can even be maintained as a very low hedge. It is an ideal plant for a screen or wind-break and it is pest and disease free. It will thrive in almost any soil under all kinds of conditions.
