If you’re looking for a medium privacy screen, the emerald green arborvitae is perfect. The emerald green arborvitae is great for creating a natural privacy screen that will not discolor in winter, unlike other arborvitaes. It has a thick canopy of foliage and an upright pyramidal growth habit, which makes it ideal for creating solid, natural privacy screens. This plant can be grown easily and reliably gorgeous all year long with its magnificent green foliage that shimmers in the breeze. It also becomes more impressive as they mature! You won't go wrong with this plant if you're looking to create a solid, natural, privacy screen that won't discolor in winter as other arborvitaes do. Emerald green arborvitae grow best in full sun but can withstand partial shade. They will grow well when planted six feet apart from each other. When planting emerald green, dig a hole that is just as deep as the root ball and twice as wide. If the top of the root ball is lower than the surrounding soil, remove the tree and fill in part of the hole with new soil before replacing it back into its original spot. Mulch around trees with shredded hardwood mulch for optimal growth. ---------- This item includes Two 2.5 Gallon Emerald Green Arborvitae (live plants) in plastic pots with soil. The pots will be wrapped in a polybag to retain moisture and hold any soil that shakes lose in shipping. The plant will be shipped in a cardboard box that has been designed to hold the plant in place to reduce any chance of damage in transit. As soon as the plant arrives it should be unpackaged, un-bagged, and watered. --------These plants ship from the Gulf Coast of Alabama.
