Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’ (Emerald Green Arborvitae)

Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’, commonly known as Emerald Green Arborvitae, is a popular evergreen conifer valued for its narrow, upright form and rich green foliage that holds its colour year-round. Its dense growth habit makes it an excellent choice for formal hedging, screening, and privacy planting.

This low-maintenance plant thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a range of soil types, including clay. With strong tolerance to urban conditions and cold climates, it provides reliable structure and winter interest in both residential and commercial landscapes.
