Emerald Green Arborvitae, also known as "Smaragd". It grows almost perfectly pyramidal with almost no pruning at all. It has a very bright green color and appears to have a tinge of gold to it if the sun hits it just right.

This pyramidal beauty grows to a height of 10 to 15 feet, with a spread of 3 to 4 feet. It displays its bright lustrous emerald green color all year, and does not discolor in winter. Its very compact and tight grow make it an excellent choice for a screen when spaced 2 to 3 feet apart in the row.

Although not drought-tolerant, 'Emerald Green' arborvitae does fine in full sun (it doesn't mind partial shade, however). Grow in a well-drained soil.

Hardy to Zones 4 to 7
