Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd'

"Emerald Green" Arborvitae grows in a pyramidal form with its foliage coming in flat sprays. Although it is not the fastest grower in its group, when mature, it is the perfect size for a privacy hedge or wind break. Better yet, whereas the leaves on many types of arborvitaes turn bronze in the winter, "Emerald Green" is more likely to remain a nice green year-round. When planting it is recommended to space trees 2-3 feet apart.
