3 Live Plants Emerald Green Arborvitae Thuja occidentalis Privacy Evergreen

Emerald Green Arborvitae is a popular evergreen conifer prized for its dense, uniform, pyramidal growth habit and rich emerald-green foliage that holds its color year-round. This versatile Thuja occidentalis selection is widely used for hedges, privacy screens, windbreaks, foundation plantings, and specimen accents in home landscapes.

Emerald Green Arborvitae grows slowly to moderately, maintaining a naturally narrow, upright form with minimal pruning required. Its soft, feathery foliage provides year-round structure and shelter in the garden, and it works well in both formal and informal landscape designs.
