Arborvitae Emerald Green 2/3 ft #5 pot

Emerald Green or “Smaragd” arborvitae trees, which are specific cultivars of the Thuja occidentalis tree, grow in a narrow pyramid shape, eventually to 10–15 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide. Their size makes them ideal foundation plants and natural privacy screens in smaller yards and narrow spaces. These trees can grow up to 1–2 feet per year until established and then grow 6–9 inches per year.
