Emerald Green Arborvitae

Emerald Green Arborvitae is a great alternative to other evergreen trees. It has controlled growth that can be really helpful in tight landscaping areas.

Creating a privacy barrier

Many people use the Emerald Green Arborvitae as a privacy barrier or to block out noisy neighbors. The Emerald Green only reaches 12'-14' feet tall so it's perfect in tight spaces or below power lines (though please check with your power company).
