Emerald Green Arborvitae Care
View Full Planting & Care Instructions
Sunlight
Emerald Green Thujas grow best in full sun (6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day), but they can withstand partial shade (afternoon sun is best in this case).

Watering
Water your new tree 1-2 times per week for the first month, then once a week. Water more frequently if it is dry and hot. Water your tree by placing a water hose at its base for 20 seconds. Emerald Green Thujas will establish after 6 months and regular rainfall will provide sufficient watering.

Fertilizing
Use a general evergreen and shrub fertilizer in the Spring to support the growth of your tree.
Perfect Height for Privacy, Even in Small Spaces

Quick shipping and surprised at quality of trees
Repeat customer, very pleased again
This is my second purchase with Fast Growing Trees. So please with my first purchase. This bought 32 of the emerald green 1-2 ft. They came in pots nicely secured with heavy plastic bags to prevent spilling. The soil was moist. Plants show no signs of shock. All of them are close to 2 ft in height. So excited to get these in the ground as soon as the weather permits.
