Emerald Green Arborvitae 1 Live Plant – 2 Gallon Pot – Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd'

Emerald Green Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd') is a compact evergreen conifer admired for its narrow, upright growth habit and bright emerald-green foliage. Also known as Smaragd Arborvitae, this ornamental evergreen provides year-round greenery and a naturally structured appearance in privacy screens, foundation plantings, evergreen borders, and residential landscapes.

Its dense, vertical sprays of scale-like foliage create an elegant, narrow pyramidal form. Emerald Green Arborvitae is known for its relatively slow growth and its ability to maintain attractive green foliage color throughout winter. Its naturally compact habit generally requires little pruning, making it suitable for formal landscapes and narrow planting spaces.

Emerald Green Arborvitae performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It tolerates cold winter conditions and can adapt to moderate summer heat when provided with adequate soil moisture. Its dense evergreen foliage and consistent coloration make it useful for structured plantings and year-round landscape interest.
