More Information

Description Get the privacy you've always wanted with Emerald Green Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis). We love this arborvitae's narrow, pyramidal habit, which quickly grows to create an elegant evergreen screen. This rapidly growing evergreen shrub can grow over 18" per year when given proper care! The green foliage is exceptionally fragrant and provides year-round interest, especially for the holidays. Emerald Green Arborvitae is highly adaptable to a wide range of growing conditions and will thrive in sandy and heavy clay garden soils. Once established, it can handle high heat and mild drought, making it a great fit for gardens in the South. A simple shearing in early spring is all it takes to keep this colorful, adaptable, and fragrant evergreen shrub in bounds!

Note: Ships at an average size of 30-33 inches tall, floor to tip.
