Emerald Green Arborvitae is by far our most popular arborvitae and one of our most popular trees overall. It does have a striking emerald-green color, and it naturally grows in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Its foliage practically shimmers in full sun, and it grows in a narrow column for tight spaces. It makes a great specimen, hedge or privacy screen. Plant Emeralds about two feet apart for a hedge.
Watch out for deer browse!
Fun fact: 'Emerald' was discovered growing in the wild in 1950 in Denmark. 'Smaragd' is Danish for Emerald.
