Arborvitae (Emerald Green) 3'-4'

Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd'   "Emerald Green" Arborvitae grows in a pyramidal form with its foliage coming in flat sprays. Although it is not the fastest grower in its group, when mature, it is the perfect size for a privacy hedge or wind break. Better yet, whereas the leaves on many types of arborvitaes turn bronze in the winter, "Emerald Green" is more likely to remain a nice green year-round. When planting it is recommended to space trees 2-3 feet apart.   Growth Rate Slow to moderate Mature Size 12-20 ft. tall, 3-10 ft. spread Soil Moist, well-drained soil Light Full sun to partial shade Leaves Flat and scaly, fan like bright green needles Cones 3/8-1 in. long cones, grown in clusters Deer Browse Risk Yes Benefits Ideal for privacy hedge.
