TemperatureĮmerald Green Arborvitae fare better in dry, cool climates. To flourish, these trees need at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. Too much shade will lead to sparse growth.

Sun and shadeĮmerald Green Arborvitae thrive in full sun but can grow in partial shade as well. Growing ConditionsĮmerald Green Arborvitae are very low-maintenance once they’ve been established, tolerating a range of soil types, differing amounts of sunlight, and even extreme temperatures. These hassle-free, tidy groupings of trees will grow narrow and pyramidal, so you won’t have to worry about pruning or trimming unless you want to. If you’re creating a natural privacy screen or wind break with Emerald Green Arborvitae, plant the trees 3-4 feet apart from one another. Then, it will need roughly ½-1 inch of water per week. Water your tree twice a week until it is established. Set down a 2-3 inch layer of mulch or compost to retain soil moisture. Backfill the hole carefully-if the soil is too tight, the roots may suffocate. The root ball should be slightly higher than the soil surrounding it. Take the root ball out of the container you received it in and tease it apart gently, then set it in the hole. Dig a hole that is about twice the width of the root ball of your Emerald Green Arborvitae but no deeper than the root ball’s height. Remove any weeds, turfgrass, and debris from the area. Choose a location where the tree will receive full sunlight ideally, or partial shade if necessary. The best time to plant an Emerald Green Arborvitae is in fall, when the tree will face minimal heat stress and not struggle to grow. The only regions where it struggles are the West Coast, along the Deep South and Florida. Emerald Green Arborvitae does well in Zones 2-8, performing better in cold regions than some other evergreens. USDA Hardiness Zones indicate the best regions to plant various species, with 11 total regions. These trees can grow up to 1-2 feet per year until established and then grow 6-9 inches per year.Įmerald Green Arborvitae trees’ dense green, scale-shaped foliage is colorful year-round and fans out in feather-like sprays. Their size makes them ideal foundation plants and natural privacy screens in smaller yards and narrow spaces.
Emerald green install#
Another key we found during the install was to start in a corner, nail it down, pull and stretch the grass in one direction and nail as you go along. Cutting the product around walls,stairs,etc was very easy using a sharp blade and heavy duty scissors. Definitely needed two people to do the install. Any low or high spots will be very noticeable once the grass is installed, so I would recommend taking extra time to get the base perfect before starting the install. The base underneath is key to the install. It has a deep green color and the thatch makes it look even more realistic. I purchased a 15 x 25 ft roll, weight was around 250lbs and it was delivered by freight.
The company communicated very well and were easy to reach with questions. Purchased the emerald green due to color and durability.
