Spencer Young · Gardenality Genius · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
No pruning Needed. Cut away stray or broken branches. If you want to cut it back do this in late winter before new growth emerges
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Pruning
Emerald Green arborvitae requires no pruning or shearing. You can lightly shear the plant in late winter if a more formal shape is desired.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Planting
Plant Emerald Green arborvitae in sites that provide full to mostly sun and well-drained soil. Because of its upright, narrow growth habit, I like using this plant on the corners of tall homes, building or other structures or in narrow spaces as a tall hedge.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Problems
I've seen very few if any serious pest or disease problems with Emerald Green Arborvitae. Consistently wet soil can cause problems with the roots. Too much shade can cause thinning of foliage.
Brent Wilson · Gardenality Administrator · Zone 8A · 10° to 15° F · Comment About Feeding
Fertilize Emerald Green arborvitae with a well-balanced shrub & tree type fertilizer in early spring and again in late summer or early fall.
