Thuja occidentalis ‘ Smaragd ‘

Thuja ‘Smaragd’ is a compact, upright evergreen conifer highly valued for its dense, rich emerald-green foliage and naturally narrow, conical shape. Unlike many thujas, it retains its vibrant colour throughout the year without bronzing in winter, making it a reliable choice for year-round structure and colour.

This slow to moderate growing conifer typically reaches 3–5 meters in height while remaining relatively slim, requiring very little pruning to maintain its neat form. The soft, scale-like foliage is finely textured and arranged tightly, creating an elegant and formal appearance.

Thuja ‘Smaragd’ grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, fertile soil. Once established, it is moderately drought-tolerant and easy to maintain. It also responds well to clipping if a more formal hedge is desired.

Ideal for hedging, screening, avenue planting, containers, and feature use, Thuja ‘Smaragd’ is perfect for formal gardens, modern landscapes, and small spaces, offering evergreen beauty, privacy, and low maintenance.
