Emerald Green Arborvitae is a great alternative alternative to larger evergreen trees such as the Leyland Cypress, as the Emerald Green has controlled growth that can be perfect for tight landscaping areas.
The Emerald Green Arborvitae's hardiness and resistance to cold makes it a solid choice for Northern landscapers, who might otherwise use Leyland Cypress.
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 grows 12'-14' feet tall, so it's perfect for small landscaping areas or below power lines (though please check with your power company for local heights and regulations).
If you want to create a privacy barrier with the Emerald Green Arborvitae we would recommend that you plant 2'-3' feet apart and follow our planting instructions.
Emerald Green Arborvitae trees are a deep and rich green color year-round, which displays how robust they are. Like the Leyland Cypress, their foliage grows in flat sprays and, close up, the needles appear covered in fine green scales.
