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).

drops of water

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.

Good so far

I ordered 8 of these trees in January. They arrived in early March. They have been kept in the garage since we are still having some hard frost nights (which is why I was surprised when they were delivered almost 5 weeks early). I hope they will survive when I plant them next week. I have planted one so far and it loos good
