Thuja 'Emerald Green' is a evergreen arborvitae. The most popular narrow evergreen in North American landscaping — a refined, naturally tight pyramidal form with rich emerald-green foliage that holds its vibrant color through even the harshest winter conditions. Thrives in full sun with moist, well-drained soil. Moderately drought tolerant once established. One of the most cold-hardy and reliable evergreen choices available. The most popular evergreen for privacy screens, hedges, windbreaks, and foundation plantings — offering reliable, dense, year-round coverage with minimal maintenance.
