The Emerald Green Arborvitae is a favorite for formal landscapes across the nation! As you might expect, this Arborvitae is named for its bright emerald-green foliage. Each evergreen branch features flat, scaled leaves that lay close together, creating dense foliage. Therefore, it's ideal for a privacy screen, windbreak, or sound dampener.

This is one of the most popular members of the Thuja family due to its controlled growth. While some similar varieties grow to be 60+ feet tall, such as the Green Giant Arborvitae, the Emerald Green only grows to be 10-15' H and 3-4' W.

The Emerald Green Thuja grows with a naturally narrow, pyramidal growth habit, no pruning required. So this is a fantastic tree for fans of low-maintenance gardens.

This selection is more heat and humidity tolerant than many Thuja, making it perfect for southern landscapes.

Try placing a couple of Emerald Greens in containers next to a doorway, or entrance. Line a driveway with them. Use them as a vertical element in a mixed garden. Trim it into a topiary. You almost can't go wrong!

This is a moderate grower, meaning it will grow between 1-2 feet per year, depending on its planting conditions. After you plant your Emerald Green Thuja, it will take about 2 years to develop mature root systems capable of keeping up with its growth rate. By the third year, you'll notice the tree growing upwards of 12-24 inches annually until it reaches full maturity.

Emerald Green Arborvitae Care

Hardy in USDA Zones 4-8, and down to -30°F when fully established.

Plant in Full Sun to Part Shade to ensure consistently dense, attractive foliage.

Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. For the next growing season, water 1-2 times per week. After that, it only needs supplementary water in times of extreme heat and drought.

Prefers to be planted in deep, fertile soil with good drainage and consistent moisture. Top-dress the soil beneath your plant yearly with compost to ensure it stays rich and healthy.

While your plant is still young, fertilize regularly with nitrogen-rich fertilizer to promote new growth. Once the plant has matured, a light yearly fertilizing will do the trick.

How to Plant:

  1. First, dig a hole three times the width of the root ball of your plant. This makes it easier for the root system to spread out quickly.
    • Dig the hole deep enough that your plant will sit level with or slightly above the ground around it.
  2. Mix your native soil with rich gardening soil to provide extra nutrients and support plant growth.
    • If your soil is clay-heavy, we recommend mixing your native clay soil with equal parts of Pine Bark mulch to improve drainage and the overall breathability of your soil.
  3. Put the plant in the hole and backfill around it with the soil mixture.
  4. Top the soil beneath your plant with 3-4 inches of mulch to help it retain moisture.
  5. Soak the plant with a hose afterward to hydrate the plant, as well as get the soil and mulch situated.

Popular Companion Plants

These trees' reliably attractive foliage provides the perfect backdrop for numerous different companion plants. Sunshine Ligustrum, for instance, contrasts beautifully thanks to its naturally rounded shape and a golden-yellow color. The White Wedding Hydrangea is another great accent as it has large white blooms that pop against a bright green foliage backdrop.

Boxwoods are a great choice to plant alongside Thuja occidentalis as well, especially for formal landscapes. It's easy to work in a Wintergreen Boxwood square hedge in front of or beside your trees. This is an easy way to bump up the elegance and class of your landscape. Not a fan of trimming formal hedges? Plant some Baby Gem Boxwoods. They grow in a rounded muffin-like shape that is just as classic as a square hedge.

Check out a few other privacy tree selections, such as the Leyland Cypress, Blue Point Juniper, or Italian Cypress.

Puppy loves these sticks!
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
Dogs love these sticks! Must smell and taste like real wood because it keeps my puppy from bringing real sticks in the house from outside. She is a heavy chewer and these sticks keep her occupied. We are on our 2nd set.

Our dog loves it but it wasn’t durable enough to last
Color: Dogwood Jack, Size: Large, Color: Dogwood Jack, Size: Large
Our lab took to it as soon as we gave it to her. Perfect size for our 80 lb yellow lab. However, now that it’s in about 10 days, she’s able to break off chunks from this bone that are dime size or larger, and we have to throw it away

No problems after a year and a half
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
Have been regularly buying these for my corgi for about a year and a half. The 2 pack lasts about a month or 2 each time. Pieces break off in small enough pieces that they safely pass through his digestive system. He gnaws each one down to about 1/4 the original size before we take it away and give him a new one. He continues to have regular bowel movements and has a healthy appetite so I can’t imagine any problems arising after so long. I have tried other alternatives and every other similar chew breaks off in larger pieces and didn’t feel comfortable letting him chew/eat them. I noticed there are a few 1 star reviews saying their dogs got sick off these but after a year and a half I have had 0 issues with this product. I guess it depends on the dog and how big of pieces they are swallowing. My dog ingests pieces about the size of a grain of rice so just pay attention and you should be fine.
