11 x Thuja Occidentalis Emerald 180-200cm 35 Litre Pot

Thuja occidentalis 'Emerald' (Smaragd)

Neat, columnar evergreen with vibrant green foliage

Thuja 'Emerald', also known as Smaragd, is a compact, slow-growing conifer that forms a naturally narrow, conical shape. Its bright, emerald-green foliage holds its colour all year round, making it an ideal choice for smart hedging, formal borders, or as individual specimens in pots or beds.

Unlike faster-growing conifers, ‘Emerald’ maintains its shape well with minimal pruning. It creates a tidy, uniform hedge or screen, and its dense structure provides excellent privacy and wind protection. This variety is well-suited to both small and large gardens thanks to its narrow footprint and elegant form.

Key Features:

• Naturally compact, columnar shape – minimal pruning required

• Retains rich emerald-green colour throughout winter

• Ideal for narrow hedges, screening, or formal planting

• Hardy and low maintenance

• Can be grown in containers or directly in the ground

Growing Conditions:

• Position: Full sun to partial shade

• Soil: Moist, well-drained soil; avoid waterlogged conditions

• Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK

• Maintenance: Trim lightly to shape in late spring or early autumn

Ultimate Height & Spread:

• Height: 3–5m

• Spread: 0.6–1m

• Slow to moderate growth – approx. 15–30cm per year

Thuja 'Emerald' is perfect for anyone seeking a refined, evergreen hedge or screen with minimal effort and maximum year-round appeal.
