Emerald Green Arborvitae — 15 Gallon
(Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’)
Plant Description
The Emerald Green Arborvitae is one of the most popular evergreen landscape plants, valued for its dense foliage, narrow upright form, and year-round color. This variety naturally grows in a tall, slender column, making it ideal for privacy screens, hedges, and vertical landscape accents.
Its rich emerald-green foliage stays vibrant throughout the year without turning bronze in winter like many other arborvitae varieties. Because of its compact form and clean appearance, it is widely used for property borders, privacy plantings, and formal landscape designs.
These 15-gallon plants are large, established specimens, providing immediate height and impact in the landscape while continuing to grow into a dense evergreen screen.
