The Emerald Green Arborvitae (Thuja) is an ideal selection for anyone seeking a medium-sized, effective privacy screen. Distinguished from other arborvitae varieties by its ability to maintain a rich, vibrant hue throughout the winter months, this evergreen ensures that your privacy barrier remains robust and visually appealing all year long. Its dense, feathery foliage and neat, upright pyramidal form make it perfect for establishing a substantial, natural-looking screen that enhances both the privacy and aesthetic of your outdoor space. Reaching a mature height of 10-15 feet and spreading 3-4 feet wide, the Emerald Green Arborvitae is well-adapted for use in USDA Zones 4 to 8. As this Thuja variety ages, it grows only more impressive, with its lush greenery offering a consistently attractive backdrop or standalone feature. Known for its ease of cultivation, the Emerald Green Arborvitae flourishes in a range of light conditions, from full sun to partial shade, and is particularly forgiving for beginner gardeners. To form a dense privacy screen, spacing the trees approximately six feet apart allows them to merge into a continuous, seamless barrier as they mature. When planting the Emerald Green Arborvitae, it's crucial to dig a hole that matches the depth of the root ball but is twice as wide, ensuring the root ball sits level with or slightly above the ground to promote healthy growth. Surrounding the base with shredded hardwood mulch contributes not just to the tree's growth by retaining moisture and controlling weeds, but also to the overall health of the plant.
