Thuja Occidentalis Smaragd 180-200cm

Vibrant green year-round foliage and a neat, slightly pyramidal upright form make 'Smaragd' a great choice for many situations. Thuja occidentalis 'Smaragd' can be planted as a single specimen for a stand alone feature or in small quantities to punctuate a border and create structure. It can also be used for hedging, although it takes a few years to knit together into a consistent screen.

Known as a White Cedar or Arborvitae, Thuja 'Smaragd' can be expected to reach a height of 4+ metres and spread of 2 metres in 20 years. Any moist, well-drained soil in full or part sun will suit. This conifer has received the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
