Description

The Emerald Green Arborvitae is the gold standard for a narrow, formal, evergreen hedge. Its naturally columnar shape, bright emerald-green color that persists year-round, and moderate growth rate make it ideal for creating neat, elegant lines without constant pruning. It’s perfect for defining property lines, framing entryways, or adding vertical structure to foundation plantings in colder climates.

• Renowned for its narrow, dense, columnar habit that requires minimal pruning to maintain its shape.

• Foliage is a vibrant, glossy emerald green that holds its color excellently through winter.

• Moderate growth rate (6-9 inches per year), making it manageable and less overwhelming than ‘Green Giant’.

• Very cold hardy (to USDA Zone 3), performing well in northern climates.

• Ideal for creating privacy screens in narrow spaces, formal hedges, or as a vertical accent.

• More susceptible to deer browsing than ‘Green Giant’ and may suffer winter burn in exposed, windy sites.
